Ramblings of a Rare Plant Hunter is an eclectic compilation of writing by Marcus Harvey. Marcus covers a wide sweep of subjects; the trials and joys of navigating the less travelled roads of Greece and Turkey in search of particular plants, pondering historical byways, reflective musings on Greek and Turkish life, horticultural essays on the delights of his favourite bulb genera, and a tribute to his friendship with renowned Tasmanian plantswoman, Essie Huxley. The text is illustrated throughout with large number of colour photos and delicate botanical illustrations separate each section.
