Our penchant for keeping house plants is an ancient practice dating
back to the Pharaohs. House Plants explores the stories behind the
plants we bring home and how they were transformed from wild plants
into members of our households. A billion-dollar global industry,
house plants provide an interaction with nature, and contribute to
our health, happiness and wellbeing. They also support their own
miniature ecosystems and are part of the home biome. Featuring many
superb illustrations, House Plants explores both their botanical
history and cultural impact, from song (Gracie Fields's Biggest
Aspidistra in the World), literature (Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra
Flying) and cinema (Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors) to
fashion, technology, contemporary design, and painting.
