Fascinating and richly illustrated stories of flowers for every day
of the year. Every day of the year a different species of flower
bursts into bloom somewhere in the world. This collection of 366
flowers reveals not only their beauty but the fascinating
botanical, literary, folkloric and historical stories behind them.
Discover the magnificent magnolia, which evolved more than 95
million years ago at the time of dinosaurs, and the specific
perfumed rose that covers the land around Grasse in France. Read
about the powerful medicinal elements of the Manuka bush flowers
and the inspiration behind William Wordsworth's 'host of golden
daffodils'. Here are also the cheerful Mexican marigolds bedecking
urban graveyards, delicate cherry or sakura blossoming along
Japanese avenues, spectacular tropical vines hanging in the
Philippine rainforest and flamboyant wildflowers carpeting meadows
across Europe, showcasing the amazing variety of the natural world.
Illustrated with stunning photographs and works of art, this
collection is a celebration of flowers and their special place in
both the natural world and our culture.
