Basilius Besler's Florilegium. The Book of Plants: The Book of Plants - the Complete Plates (Bibliotheca Universalis)

Product Information

Originally compiled by Chris Philip and his partner Denys Gueroult, who were looking for interesting plants to grow in their garden and recording what nursery was selling what selection, the original Plant Finder listed 22,000 plants. Since then, the book has grown in terms of the plant groups it covers, its comprehensiveness and the number of genera, species and cultivars that are included. Do we really think the population will grow that much? Maybe we’ll all be wiped out before it gets that bad.

Bulletin de la Société botanique de France, later Acta botanica Gallica, incl. Actualités botaniques & Lettres botaniques Planting a Rainbow This brightly illustrated book is one of my children’s favorite stories. It teaches the basic concepts of planting seeds, bulbs, and plants. The fun part is the walk through all the colors of the rainbow, with various plants and flowers as examples of those colors.

Praise for previous edition:‘This book is in a class of its own. … this has long been, and still is, the book to have if you are interested in plants in any way. Should you want to know what family a plant genus is in, or how many species are in the genus Solanum, or what strange uses some plants are put to, this book is indispensable. … This book is unique. It is an indispensable resource that belongs on every plant lover's shelf, to be consulted often and to be enjoyed.' The Emerald Planet is a serious talking to about why plants must not be ignored.’ I agree with him that plants are grievously overlooked, because no life on earth would exist without them. It’s all either plants or something that eats them and this book basically explains plants’ place in earth’s history. It explains, for example, how the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere came from plants, the role of plants and trees in the carbon cycle and, of course, we all understand that carbon has a role in controlling our climate nowadays. So, if you want to know about that then this is the book. Planting the Wild Garden Told in more of a story format, this book starts with characters planting seeds. However, those seeds begin to get dispersed, and we’re treated to explanations on how various agents of nature, including wind, rain, and animals, take those seeds into new and unexpected places.
