Find a real understanding of nature's most beautiful expression with A Flower A Day - packed with fascinating science and stories and richly illustrated throughout with photographs and art. Horticultural writer Miranda Janatka takes us on a tour around the world's flora to tell the stories of a variety of plants, from the humble daisy to the exotic Bird of Paradise. Our love of flowers is beyond question and has been chronicled through the centuries, but this book brings together 365 fascinating stories about their beauty, uses, botany, cultural resonance, and history. From the magnificent magnolia, which evolved more than 95 million years ago at the time of dinosaurs, to the specific perfumed rose that covers the land around Grasse in France."--
