The Story of Flowers

By Noel Kingsbury
Throughout history, flowers have been part of human survival and culture. Feeding marigolds to chickens make eggs more yellow; lavender was Elizabeth I’s favourite flavour of jam. Flowers are full of symbolic meaning: violets represent modesty, daises purity, and daffodils unrequited love. This delightful new book presents 100 of the world’s flowers to tell their remarkable stories. Each one is richly illustrated in colour and accompanied by facts about each species and what role it has played in myth, literature, cooking and the decorative arts.
