Here I go, going overboard again, but I just can't contain my excitement over these books, too. Thx for starting this thread, wc. I promise, this is it...I think.

Grass fans! Gotta have these books.
Grasses, by the great and powerful Ondra, .Nancy J., that is; beautiful, inspirational, tons of ideas
Landscaping with Ornamental Grasses (a Sunset book), practical for us Californians, great ideas
The Encyclopedia of Grasses for Livable Landscapes by Rick Darke, pricey at 60 bucks, but worth every penny, lots of info about individual plants I haven't found anywhere else.

If you loved Scott Calhoun's Designer Combos, you'll love Perennial Combinations by C.Colston Burrell, too. It, too, is flagged, or hedgehogged (LOL!) to death.
The Low-Water Flower Gardener by Eric A Johnson and Scott Millard, also flagged mercilessly.
The Perennial Gardener's Design Primer by Stephanie Cohen and the great and powerful Nancy J. Ondra
Big Book of Garden Designs (a Sunset book), another practical book, tons of ideas, also flagged until it cried "Uncle!"
