Exquisitely illustrated with colourful botanical drawings. A definitive reference: send bouquets with meaning, enlarge your appreciation of day-to-day plants, and grow a medicine chest in your garden. Arranged by scientific name, with an index of common names. A newly published, compact edition of the book of the same title which was available previously as a larger-format paperback: the content is the same as the previous edition.

Overall product rating 4.4/5

Service Rating:
The illustrations are beautiful. The writing is so tiny it’s almost impossible to read even with my, super enhanced reading glasses. I’m having to buy a magnifying glass to be able to read the print. It’s also not easy to look up the flowers unless you know all the variation names of those flowers. It took me a few attempts to find chamomile with the help of google. It’s a good solid book and the pages are luxurious. All in all it’s very pretty, but not user friendly.
Thank you for your feedback on the book. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the beautiful illustrations and the quality of the pages. However, we’re sorry to learn that the tiny print and difficulty in locating specific flowers have made the book less user-friendly. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Alice.
