Friday’s Library Snapshot … a flower or two!!
As the Chelsea Flower Show continues this week I thought I would find one or two images that be a suitable tribute a very English event. They need no explanation … just to say there will be no prizes for guessing my favourite … which is yours?
Our country’s flowers and how to know them ; being a complete guide to the flowers and ferns of Britain by W.J. Gordon ; illustrated by John Allen.
Our wild flowers familiarly described and illustrated by Louisa Anne Twamley
The children’s book of wild-flowers and the story of their names by Gareth H. Browning illustrated by M.C. Pollard
The Wright encyclopedia of gardening by Walter P. Wright ; frontispiece and title page by Robert Gibbings.
Common wayside flowers by Thomas Miller with Birket Foster
My favorite is the one in the middle.
Oh yes the Cow parsley … not too much of that at Chelsea … much on the roadside … beautiful lace!! _/\_
mine is the furthest right on the top line 🙂
Oh Yes Snake’s head fritillary and apple blossom … nice choice _/\_ x
thank you 🙂
It’s got to be fritillary for me – so simple and so complicated at the same time.
Yes, seems to be the favourie so far and there were two pictures I just noticed. I liked them all but the Gibbings was my favourite. .
I read this post completely about the comparison of most
up-to-date and earlier technologies, it’s amazing article.
Thank you !!
