Critic Reviews
“"Gardeners have had to wait more than five decades for this modern monograph on generally easy-to-grow columbines. . . . Nold's horticultural guide to Aquilegia species and hybrids. . . . told in an animated and personal voice melding insights, recollections, and research."”
--Booklist
"A very useful book for gardeners and taxonomists alike. Highly recommended." --Choice
"Enthusiasts will find a wealth of information about both native and nonnative species in this well-researched, highly readable volume." --Horticulture
"With Columbines behind me, I may well add a few new species to my garden, particularly in the new rock garden. So enjoyable was Nold's book that I also intend to read his Penstemons, which has been on my "to-read" list far too long." --Pacific Horticulture
"Gardeners have waited a very long time for a readable, comprehensive and attractive book on columbines-and here it is." --HortResources Newsletter
"Nold's delightful little book is just the thing for stoking the enthusiasm and self-confidence of the gardener who is ready to enjoy growing these flowering gems in abundance." --Boox Review
"An engaging book." --Plant Science Bulletin
"Fun to read, lovingly written, and recommended for collections with avid gardeners and horticulturists." --E-Streams
"Contains all anyone could want to know about columbines. . . . written in an easy conversational style, with humor lacing even the most intense discussions." --California Garden
