Seeing Flowers by Teri Dunn Chace Pdf

We’ve all seen red roses, blue irises, and yellow daffodils. But when we really look closely at a flower, whole new worlds of beauty and intricacy emerge. Using a unique process that far surpasses conventional macro photography, Robert Llewellyn shows us details that few of us have ever seen: the amazing architecture of stamens and pistils; the subtle shadings on a petal; the secret recesses of nectar tubes. Complementing Llewellyn’s stunning photographs are Teri Dunn Chace’s lyrical, illuminating essays. By highlighting the features that distinguish twenty-eight of the most common families of flowering plants, Chace gives us fascinating insights into the natural history of flowers, such as the relationship between pollinators and floral form and color. At the same time she gives us a deeper appreciation of why and how flowers have become so deeply embedded in human culture. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener, a photography buff, or someone who simply responds to the timeless beauty and variety of the floral world, Seeing Flowers will be a source of enduring delight.

See What Flowers by Shannon Mullen Pdf

All that remains is a note: "Gone to get pancakes." Her 30th birthday party's over, yet it's the happiest Emma Watters has ever been. Life couldn't be more perfect. She's an emergency room doctor and shares a home in Toronto with the love of her life, Adam Davison. The next morning, Adam is gone. Emma's shocked. At first, she decides that Adam's having an affair and scavenges through photos on Facebook, trying to identify "the other woman." But as the days pass, Emma seeks out help from the Toronto Police and floods social media with pleas for assistance. Where's Adam? Has her life become an episode of Breaking Bad? Has she been dating Walter White all along? Wild, beautiful, and terrifying, See What Flowers is a thrilling depiction of love's attempts to survive in the face of undiagnosed mental illness. Set in the hectic, cosmopolitan cities of Toronto and Vancouver, as well as against the harsh, rugged landscape of the Canadian Arctic, it's a raw and compelling journey towards understanding, forgiveness, and, ultimately, escape.

A Victorian Flower Dictionary by Mandy Kirkby Pdf

“A flower is not a flower alone; a thousand thoughts invest it.” Daffodils signal new beginnings, daisies innocence. Lilacs mean the first emotions of love, periwinkles tender recollection. Early Victorians used flowers as a way to express their feelings—love or grief, jealousy or devotion. Now, modern-day romantics are enjoying a resurgence of this bygone custom, and this book will share the historical, literary, and cultural significance of flowers with a whole new generation. With lavish illustrations, a dual dictionary of flora and meanings, and suggestions for creating expressive arrangements, this keepsake is the perfect compendium for everyone who has ever given or received a bouquet.
