The flower recipe book

Harampolis, Alethea (Author). Rizzo, Jill. (Added Author).

Summary: Take the guesswork out of flower arranging. Here are more than 100 magical, easy-to-create arrangements, composed of just a single flower variety or overflowing with layers of differing blooms. As in a cookbook, each "recipe" provides an ingredients list (which blooms and how many), step-by-step instructions, and how-to photos showing where and how to place each stem. With flower care tips and tricks, ideas for using unexpected vessels, and techniques that yield professional results, unforgettable arrangements are just a recipe away.--From publisher description.
