"A brilliantly readable account of double flowers, exploring
everything from their many varieties to their biological
development, their long history in our gardens and the powerful
emotional responses they elicit. This supremely researched book
will leave you appreciating double flowers as never before." -
Stephen Blackmore, Queen's Botanist and former Regius Keeper of the
Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh With charms extending from the
romantic allure of double roses and the attention-grabbing
flamboyance of double tulips to the exquisite perfection of tiny
double primroses, double flowers are among the most loved of our
garden plants. Double Flowers is the first popular handbook to
explore them in depth. Double flowers are simply flowers with a
greater than normal number of petals or petal-like structures. They
occur spontaneously in the wild and can also be selected and bred.
This superbly illustrated guide - begun by bestselling garden
writer Nicola Ferguson before her death in 2007, and completed by
Charles Quest-Ritson - celebrates some of the many thousands of
beautiful double flowers produced throughout history. The book
examines how doubles have arisen; how they are constructed; how and
where they will flourish; their particular appeal and how best to
place them in the garden; and the advantages and disadvantages of
such flowers - for gardeners, for flower-arrangers and for
wildlife.
