The Flower Book

Product Information

It’s spring and the most perfect flower has started to blossom – and Squirrel has decided the flower is HIS. The recurring presence of flowers blends and merges the stories into a new shape, like a bouquet of wildflowers and weeds plucked from the edges of a sidewalk. Flower takes its readers on a different journey – but a voyage nonetheless – across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists and designers throughout history, from ancient Egypt to the modern day in New York, have depicted flowers and floral motifs. Described as “brimming with texture, pattern and exciting and inspiring ways to group and display flowers, plants and succulents” this book will be amazing inspiration for interior enthusiasts.

It is generous in its coverage and will appeal to a broad range of readers, whether interested in plants, gardens, history, or the myriad links between them. Following our cut flower season in 2016, from spring tulips to summer sweet peas and autumn dahlias, Rachel recommends how to select the best flowers, keep them fresh at home, and display each one to celebrate its natural beauty.
