This book provides a treasure trove of information regarding how to grow, harvest, condition, cut life expectancy and use. It lists both the common and latin names which is of high import when you are entering judged floral shows. This is a "go to" book that everyone should have.
Very informative reference book for serious cut flower growers & professionals. Each page is dedicated to a particular flower variety and contains 2 or 3 close ups of the flower. On every page below the photos are the topics of: Description, Origin & History, Parts Used, Cultivation, Properties, Quality Criteria, and Care & Handling. A profound & concise compilation of cut flower information.
Because the ikebana student needs specific information on plants in order to know how useful they may be in arrangements, this book is invaluable. It has all the information on needs to know for an exhaustive number of plants just for this purpose. I highly recommend it.
Holy moly, this book contains all the flowers I could ever hope to come across and use in my newfound and frenzied floral arranging hobby! I also like how there are useful bits of information for both cut and potted varieties of plants one might obtain for themselves.
The best book we could find for students in floristry for learning about cut flowers, how to recognize them and take care of them
