Perry, a celebrated horticulturalist and writer, presents an encyclopaedic survey of flowering plants — from the lush tropics to alpine meadows — cataloguing their origins, characteristics, and cultural significance with meticulous scholarly care. Illustrated by Leslie Greenwood and published in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society, the work pairs rigorous botanical science with stunning artistic renderings that bring each species vividly to life. The foreword by The Lord Aberconway lends the volume an additional air of distinguished authority.\n\nBeyond its role as a comprehensive reference, this landmark work stands as a celebration of the natural world's astonishing diversity, weaving together science, art, and horticulture into a single, cohesive vision. Perry's prose is accessible yet erudite, making the complex taxonomy and ecology of flowering plants compelling to both the seasoned botanist and the enthusiastic amateur gardener alike. The collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society ensures an unimpeachable standard of accuracy, while Greenwood's illustrations elevate the volume into the realm of fine art. For anyone who has ever paused to wonder at a single bloom, this book promises to deepen that wonder immeasurably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269341487323,"sku":"2026200017425-SECONDHAND","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6d53310a-bc15-4d5c-839c-113dad7a8740.png?v=1788998683","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017425-secondhand-flowers-of-the-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
