i love flowers! i draw them, paint them, take pictures of them, and put them between the pages of books. this is all my mother’s fault. as long as i can remember, i followed her feet in the garden. walking with her in her garden is an event. we talk about them, pinch, pick, and prune them. and for those that open only at night, yep, we go outside to view and smell. night flowers are often the most aromatic. there are very few flowers i don’t know the name of, all because of her. and when we see one that is new to us, we spend hours searching and googling until we find it. then we read the history, and/or order from one of her many catalogues.here are some of my favorite flower books…enjoy.
