About
ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS features a hundred exquisite colour portraits of dahlias, roses, anemones, poppies, pansies, orchids, tulips, azaleas, peonies and other flowers in luscious detail. Each variety is coupled with a brief description that includes hints about cultivation - making the book as useful as it is beautiful. Also included is an introduction by popular gardening author and lecturer Sidney Eddison - a painter as well as a passionate gardener - and a critical essay by celebrated photography critic A.D. Coleman.
