The nation's 'Flower Bible' as it is often described, was first published in 2011. Now, this best-selling book on the selection, care and availability of fresh cut flowers is on its 5th edition. Easy to follow, with full care instructions, it is suitable for florists, floristry students, flower arrangers and anyone who appreciates having fresh cut flowers in the home.
From Acacia to Zinnia, a page is devoted to each flower with full colour photography for easy identification and covers the flowers availability, vase life, description, stem length and type, colour range, care and conditioning both professionally and in the home.
There are also suggestions on the flower's use in wedding work, tips on how to display it, and botanical information regarding its genus, family and origin.
The 5th edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded with some new flowers added, plus UK grown seasonal availability with an 'At a Glance' seasonal guide of flowers grown by commercial British flower farms.
All the pages are ordered in A-Z of botanical names, with a comprehensive index of common names, plus a glossary of floristry and botanical terms used.
Wiro bound, the book opens flat, perfect for a workbench or table, and has a wipe clean cover.
