Succulents for beginners and not only (blue region).

"Succulents - a perennial plant with succulent, fleshy leaves -- or stems, the type of xerophytes." Some lines from a Great encyclopedic dictionary, written in a dry, official language, do not say anything to the person ignorant, but interested in what this "beast" and what it eats". To clarify the situation and to access the curious reader the truth about the mysterious plants, hiding behind the name "succulents", will help the book that you hold in your hands. According to the author, this edition does not claim the laurels of scientific work: no Botanical revelations and discoveries. Moreover, experts will probably be to criticize it for being too easy in the presentation of those who have deep scientific justification. But isn't the notorious "simplicity" is a virtue that makes reading extremely entertaining, and serious comprehension of the truths necessary for success in the cultivation of succulents is unexpectedly easy. In the course of the story, the author avoids dry didactic tone - he just shares his years of experience, describes his own thoughts on various contentious issues, expresses his opinion, but the right to make choices, to make the final decision always leaves the reader.

The man who wrote this book, I sincerely believe that there are people (let them be little) capable of holding their breath for hours to consider a bizarre accumulation of plant mass with the enigmatic title "succulents". It is those who have "the gift" to see the amazing beauty in the plants, surviving where it is extremely difficult to do, and changed in the process of evolution to the highest degree of similarity to the stones or the work of human hands, should read this book.
