Flora Britannica Book Of Spring Flowers

A flower book like no other - it focuses on the flowers of spring and includes over 50 wild species from England, Scotland and Wales, many of them in considerable detail. It is organised thematically and has sections on woodland flowers, primroses and the spring flowers of lanes and fields. As well as describing the plants, it gives an account of the role of spring flowers in social life, arts, custom and landscape. Like Flora Britiannica, this selection is the result of five years of painstaking research and includes the personal anecdotes, observations and regional knowledge of people from all over Britain.
