The Long Dry. Bush Colours of Summer and Autumn in South - western Australia. 2002. 180 col. photographs 92 p. Paper bd.
Instead on flowers, this wildflower book concentrates on the foliage,in particular what it does in a very dry summer. In many plants theleaves or stems turn shades of yellow, red or brown but do not die -when the first winter rain falls they regreen and resume their normalfunctions. Apart from a few species that change during a normal summer,most of this colour is seen only in a very dry season such as occurredin 2000-01 and has never been recorded before.
