On Flowers

This book weaves together mystery, legend, history and folklore to create images which celebrate the wonder and beauty of flowers. For example, the photographs show that flowers can: appear in fantasy designs for clothing and art; accent the taste and look of food dishes; and more traditionally, they can be displayed in vases and wreaths with ravishing results. The lyrical text that accompanies the photographs explores the significance of flowers in literature, poetry and everyday life. Added to this is practical information on the styling, handling and care of flowers.
