A book of fascination and interest for lovers of wildflowers and poetry alike. The author makes a strong and heartfelt case for Australians to become familiar with the abundance of native flowers readily available. To demonstrate this wealth of flora, every month she collected native flowers within walking distance of her house and these formed the basis of her watercolour paintings. Line drawings were also produced to assist in identification. The poems accompanying the paintings demonstrate one way we can all respond to a growing familiarity with wildflowers. They date from the early 1800s to the present and add an evocative touch to this charming book. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 10128.
