        Horticulturalist Kuroda shares his love for succulents, describing them as cute, chubby, fuzzy, and charming in the opening pages and supplying details on growth types, buying tips, and environmental needs. A middle section provides information on popular varieties (echeveria; agave) followed by artful examples of succulent arrangements. The concluding pages recommend specific plants (Sedum palmeri; Sedum multiceps), presented nine to a page. Beautiful closeups of plants and hands shown performing tasks are a high point of the book. VERDICT Striking and practical. A perfect fit for those who already love succulents and those ready to fall in love.
