Praise for the Book
‘The illustrations are the highlight of the book, with a keen sense of composition, accuracy and shade. While some of the flowers may be familiar, it is not often we see them in such detail and vivid colour … a visually stunning book.’ — R.M. Williams OUTBACK Magazine

‘… more than 100 exquisite illustrations from seven of Australia’s leading botanical artists.’ — Australian Geographic

‘… a very valuable document and testimony to the continued vitality of botanical art in Australia.’ — Australian Gardening History

‘… the artwork in this collection is the undeniable drawcard. This is a simply stunning book that surpasses mere botanical appeal.’ — Gardening Australia

‘… lavishly illustrated with a variety of native floral species, as well as funghi and native orchids, and provides an important record of this influential group [of artists].’ — The Artists Chronicle
