DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Iris: Studies in Colour and Talks About Flowers The subjects of the following papers are old pet children, which have grown with me since ever I began to feel and think. For I can scarcely remember the time when I was not irresistibly drawn to observe the refraction of light, and to muse on the language of colours. With flowers I have always been on the most confidential footing; they have heavenly things to tell me, and in their perfume I feel the nearness and breath of the Creator. It is true that with wine and dancing I am less familiar, but I have had the more to do with them as a student of the Bible. Down to old age, the sight of youth has served to make me young again; I have rejoiced to sun myself in those bright rays of the life eternal - alas! Too evanescent - which play on the youthful countenance. From my youth up no enjoyment has given me such delight as the love of friends. Many of these friendships have gradually faded, but, as I hope, only to bloom again like the Jericho rose of the wilderness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGraeme Grosvenor is one of the world's leading authorities on the iris and he has endeavoured to make this book the world's most comprehensive and up-to-date on the subject. For those captivated by the gentle beauty of the iris this book offers a wealth of information. It contains a spectacular panorama of colour plates covering current popular cultivars as well as other superb new ones. The text elaborates on characteristics of each of the cultivars and explains propagation and growing points associated with each of them. Specific information on particular iris cultivars is easily comprehended because each is presented against a thorough coverage of the whole iris division of the genus into the subgenus level: bulbous, tuberous, and rhizomatous. Within each group, he defines further subcategories; for instance he defines within the rhizomatous subgenus the characteristics of the bearded, beardless and crested groups.
The Language of Flowers

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author traces the phenomenon of ascribing sentimental meaning to floral imagery from its beginnings in Napoleonic France through its later transformations in England and America. At the heart of the book is a depiction of what the three most important flower books from each of the countries divulge about the period and the respective cultures. Seaton shows that the language of flowers was not a single and universally understood correlation of flowers to meanings that men and women used to communicate in matters of love and romance. The language differs from book to book, country to country. To place the language of flowers in social and literary perspective, the author examines the nineteenth-century uses of flowers in everyday life and in ceremonies and rituals and provides a brief history of floral symbolism. She also discusses the sentimental flower book, a genre especially intended for female readers. Two especially valuable features of the book are its table of correlations of flowers and their meanings from different sourcebooks and its complete bibliography of language of flower titles. This book will appeal not only to scholars in Victorian studies and women's studies but also to art historians, book collectors, museum curators, historians of horticulture, and anyone interested in nineteenth-century popular culture.
