Synopsis
Inspired by classic illustrated botanical volumes, this is a modern celebration of wild, garden, and exotic flowers. A single photographic image captures the intricate detail, form, texture, and color of each flower. The beautiful photographs are paired with succinct, quirky text about the culture and historical interest of each plant variety.
Chapters are based on the floral characteristics or symbolism of each flower, including Folkloric, Medicinal, Emotional, Edible, Wild, Exotic, and Toxic, and each flower is accompanied by an excerpt of cultural history. This is a stunning gift book that taps into the growing interest in the natural world and the associated benefits to our wellbeing, and the powerful pursuit of quiet, mindful activities.
