Flower: Exploring The World In Bloom

A comprehensive and sumptuous survey that celebrates the beauty and appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture - a perfect companion to Plant: Exploring the Botanical World. Aimed at a wide audience from florists, gardeners, botanists, and general readers to artists, designers, and art historians, it features large-scale images, accessible texts, an introduction by Anna Pavord (author of The Tulip), and reference information, including a glossary, illustrated timeline, and biographies. Entries are selected by an international panel of art historians, museum curators, botanists, florists, horticulturalists, and more.
