For centuries, as Europe explored the New World, botanists sent back seeds and specimens of the thousands of plants they came across on their travels. The resulting experimentation that took place with each new arrival resulted in many of the garden flowers we know today. Beautifully illustrated with 300 artworks from the Royal Horticultural Society collection, this book dedicates a chapter to each principle area of geographical and botanical importance ¿ Europe, the Turkish Empire, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas with flowers arranged according to the region they were originally sourced.
