Brand new – Edition 4 now on sale! First published in 2011 this popular, practical book on the selection and care of cut flowers has now been fully revised and expanded for its fourth reprint. A staple in floristry workrooms and classrooms across the UK and the world and recommended by many leading floristry tutors, the new fourth edition is true to form, containing straightforward information on how to care for and condition fresh cut flowers both at the florists shop and in the home. ‘I have added some new pages’ says Su Whale, author and publisher, ‘one which is aimed more at the customer on how to select fresh flowers, plus two new flowers, Jatropha and Oxypetalum and an extra page on lilies, making a total of 156 flowers in all. With short print runs, we are able to constantly update and revise, and I hope that students, florists and flower arrangers will continue to find this book invaluable.’ Filled with easy to follow care instructions, flower availability, colour range and vase life, there are also tips on simple arranging plus the flowers suitability for wedding work. Every flower has been individually photographed in full colour, making identification easy. Arranged in alphabetical order of botanical names there is also an index of common names plus a mini floral miscellany of wedding anniversaries, national flowers and rose meanings.
