Review in The English Garden I love annuals - they're bright, showy and fun. From a few packs of nondescript, brown seeds you can create a whole garden - and then another and another, year after year. Sometimes though, it can be hard to put a bit of imagination into the sowing. That's where DISCOVERING ANNUALS by Graham Rice (Frances Lincoln, £25) comes in. Arranged in alphabetical order, there is at least one annual (often more) for almost every letter. Contemporary combinations and fresh ideas show how to make annuals, both modern introductions and old varieties, work well together and practical information tells you how to put this to good effect. Graham Rice's chatty informative text makes this book a pleasure to read and, on a serious note, it is refreshing to read a book written by someone prepared to express his opinions.
