Critics Review

This little hardback is full of intriguing floral trivia. Unashamedly a gift book, author Binney dusts down the archives and discovers fascinating facts about flowers. These include, found at random. how Spanish priests started growing cosmos in the 16th century and that the Primrose League was founded in 1883 to uphold Conservative principles. The book is somewhat akin to the flood of recent gardening almanacks, which show that the internet has not dimmed gardeners’ desire to read about their pastime, perhaps while watching the flowers grow or the rain fall.
