Synopsis:

Over the years, artist Elizabeth Blackadder has sketched and painted every variety of plant that grows in her garden. While her watercolors are meticulously accurate, the graphic placing of the blooms, leaves, and stems and the bold expression of color far transcend the realm of botanical art. In Favourite Flowers, Blackadder's exquisite watercolors are collected for the first time. Accompanying the paintings is commentary by gardening author Deborah Kellaway, who considers each of the artist's favorite flowers: irises, poppies, tulips, lilies, and orchids. She also provides a history of each plant, its place in painting and in the garden, as well as brief cultivation notes. An irresistible gift book for lovers of art and the garden.
