  • 60+ full-color botanical illustrations
  • basic botany and history
  • everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden (including dividing tubers to propagate more flowers)
  • tips for creating beautiful arrangements and preserving flowers
  • quotes, lore, and notable gardens and growers
  • Like a bouquet of dahlias, this book is an affordable little luxury for gardeners and flower lovers--the perfect hostess gift or Mother's Day present. It's part of the collectible mini gift book series Little Book of Natural Wonders.
