On Flowers by Kathryn Kleinman and Sara Slavin is an exquisite full-color volume that celebrates the wonder and beauty of flowers. In arrangements by outstanding designers and in stunning photographs, this beautiful book presents imaginative worlds created from flowers - flowers contained in vases and wreaths, edible flowers for salads and garnishes, and fantasy designs of flowers as clothing and art. A lyrical text explores the significance of flowers in literature, poetry, and everyday life, as well as practical information on the styling, handling, and care of flowers. Twenty delicious recipes such as Scented Geranium Muffins and Pasta with Wild Onion Flowers create surprising new possibilities for flowers.
