Virginia Woolf's novel famously begins - 'Mrs Dalloway said she
would buy the flowers herself.' Of course she would: why would
anyone surrender the best part of the day to someone else? Flowers
grace our lives at moments of celebration and despair. 'We eat,
drink, sing, dance, and flirt with them', writes Kakuzo Okakura.
Flowers brighten our homes, our parties, and our rituals with
incomparable notes of natural beauty, but the 'nature' in these
displays is tamed and conscribed. This book analyzes the
transplanted nature of cut flowers - of our relationship with them
and the careful curation of their very existence. It is a
picaresque, unpredictable ramble through the world of flowers,
encompassing paintings, murals, fashion, and public art, glass
flowers, pressed flowers, flowery church hats, weaponized flowers,
deconstructed flowers, flower power. . . and much more.
