This book was released on 2017-04-06. Urban Flowers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Creating colour and interest in a small urban garden by growing a range of flowers and other decorative plants brings with it many rewards. Carolyn Dunster shows you what to grow and how to use your own blooms, leaves and berries in a range of indoor displays and hand-tied bouquets. Locally-grown flowers in season is a significant and welcome trend in floristry, and just as eating a tasteless strawberry in December pricks our consciences, so too does purchasing a bouquet of tulips in September, however stunning they may be to look at. The most local, seasonal flowers, which are the most satisfying to give and to display, are the ones you have grown yourself. Carolyn Dunster shows you how to do this in the smallest of spaces.

Download and read online ebook An Abundance of Flowers write by Judith M. Taylor. This book was released on 2018-01-08. An Abundance of Flowers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Walk into any nursery, florist, or supermarket, and you’ll encounter displays of dozens of gorgeous flowers, from chrysanthemums to orchids. At one time these fanciful blooms were the rare trophies of the rich and influential—even the carnation, today thought of as one of the humblest cut flowers. Every blossom we take for granted now is the product of painstaking and imaginative planning, breeding, horticultural ingenuity, and sometimes chance. The personalities of the breeders, from an Indiana farmer to Admiral Lord Gambier’s gardener, were as various and compelling as the beauty they conjured from skilled hybridization. In Visions of Loveliness: Great Flower Breeders of the Past, Judith Taylor wrote engagingly about the vivid history and characters behind eighteen types of popular flowers. In this companion volume she uncovers information about another eight familiar flowers: poinsettias, chrysanthemums, gladioli, pansies, carnations, water lilies, clematis, and penstemons. Taylor has tapped into an enormous trove of stories about extraordinary people with vision and skill who added to our enjoyment piece by piece, starting about 150 years ago. This beautifully illustrated book will please flower enthusiasts, gardeners, and history buffs alike.
Gerhard Dreyer's Wild Flowers

Download and read online ebook Gerhard Dreyer's Wild Flowers write by Gerhard Dreyer. This book was released on 2003. Gerhard Dreyer's Wild Flowers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is a tribute to the late Gerhard Dreyer who spent years photographing the wild flowers of South Africa and these are some of his best images selected from several thousand. This is a tribute not only to Gerhard's photography but also the amazing floral abundance and diversity of South Africa which will appeal to both locals and overseas tourists -- there is a short introduction by Ernst van Jaarsveld, an expert on flowers, based at the Kirstenbosh Botanical Gardens, with extended captions on each flower. South Africa has the highest biodiversity for a temperate region, and world-wide is second only to Brazil and Indonesia, both tropical countries. The Fynbos biome alone has more plant species than the whole of Europe -- so a publication of this scope can only hope to give a representation of the unbelievable variety available, but anyone who has a fondness for flowers will want this book.
