About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Asiatic Poppies, which include the fabled Himalayan (or Tibetan) Blue Poppy, are among the most desirable, yet most elusive, of garden plants. Growing in the remote alpine meadows of the world's greatest mountain ranges, some 60 different species can be found.
As this stunning calendar demonstrates, the poppies bloom in a full range of showy, primary colours; they are so arresting and so brilliant that in the wild, the flowers can often be seen for miles across the wind-scoured landscape. Up close, they will stop you in your tracks. With 16 gorgeous photos, and the story behind each poppy, this calendar is a delight for any room in the house—even the gardening shed.
