Reviews
Fresh flowers, whether from the florist or garden, do so much to enhance a home, and yet properly caring for them is almost as difficult as growing them in the first place. How fortunate, then, to have expert floral and garden designer Heffernan present professional advice about how to prepare cut flowers so that they'll last. Recommendations for the best tools and containers are followed by in-depth profiles of 55 of the most popular garden and hothouse flowers, in which Heffernan shares such trade secrets as the flower's vase life and its cost at different seasons. All instructional books should be this clear and concise. Straightforward directions are supported by close-up photographs, leaving no room for doubt as to what to do. But to describe this book as merely instructional is an oversimplification, for T. K. Hill's sumptuous photography, combined with its coffee-table format, makes it as much an art book as it is a how-to. Carol Haggas
