The big book of blooms

What does the carnivorous plant Venus flytrap eat? Can you grow a rose in zero gravity? How and when is best to plant tulips or sunflowers? Could you sit and float on a giant, two-metre wide lily pad? How tall are poppies? Florescence, corollas, pollination, pistils, roots, leaves, biodiversity: these are only a few of the topics addressed by Zommer. The wonderful world of plants will no longer have any secrets for readers and – why not? – it might even inspire us to really explore Nature, as captured by the author, and learn how to improve its ecosystem. Il libro dei fiori (The big book of blooms) by Yuval Zommer is an extremely delicate illustrated work that will charm readers through its depiction of how plants and flowers grow. Offering practical advice about perfect sowing periods, the best watering amounts and times for each species, and educational sidebars revealing the origins of each flower, this work provides intriguing and fascinating insights on plants' characteristics and peculiarities, all enhanced by the wonderful colours and drawing style that have made the author famous all over the world.
