Cut Flowers by Su Whale really is the reference book for florists, students and everyone who loves flowers. With succinct fact files on well-known blooms, it's the perfect way to familiarise yourself with the wonderful world of all things floral!

Based on her experience in the world of flowers, Su Whale decided to publish a book with detailed information on over 150 varieties of cut flowers. The correct name of the flower, the availability, the vase life, which colours. In addition, it offers specific information for florists, floristry students attending training, and also for home care. Everyone who loves cut flowers will find some valuable information in this convenient book.

Su has created a handbook that should be an essential piece of equipment for every floral art/floristry/gardening student in the world not to mention florists, flower arrangers, brides and hobbyists too. This little book covers more than 150 flower varieties in normal use for arranging and tells you about availability, vase life, tips on arranging in the home and suitability for weddings etc. We have watched in admiration as Su tackled this very necessary subject matter and have been privileged to watch the project's development. The photography by Mark Follon is quite superb!

This is the best book I've found for floristry students. Its size and format are easy to use. The reference format is simple and clear. It would be on the top of my list if I were a Floristry Lecturer.

I recommend your books to my students all the time, your books are awesome - I've had them for years. I am now taking EMC (European Masters Certification) and it helps so much with my nomenclature project.

Hello Su
We are teaching a 2 year course in Flower decoration at our school and the teacher in Cut flower care has your book. I don‘t know where she got it. But the students liked your books so much that we decided to get a copy for everyone.
Best wishes from Iceland

'Popular among florists and flower arrangers 'Cut Flowers' is a practical catalogue containing straightforward information on how to care for and condition over 150 varieties of fresh cut flowers.
Pros: It includes easy-to-follow care instructions, flower availability, colour range and vase life, tips on simple arranging, flower suitability for wedding work, an index of common names and a mini floral miscellany.
Cons: A list of 150 gives a good overview, but no book would be big enough to include every commercially grown flower, so you can't use it for specific product names or really wild finds.'

Straightforward information about flowers, foliage and houseplants. They're a fantastic resource.
