The Encyclopedia of Cut Flowers, authored by Calvert Crary and Bruce Littlefield, is a comprehensive and visually stunning guide that answers every question you've ever had (and a few you didn't know to ask!) about purchasing, caring for, and prolonging the lives of over 140 different varieties of commonly available cut flowers.

Diving deep into the world of fresh-cut flowers, this encyclopedia features unique entries for 143 different varieties of commonly available cut flowers that readers can purchase at their local grocery store or flower market. Each flower entry provides authoritative tips for conditioning methods, such as avoiding placing cut flowers near fresh fruit, as fruit produces ethylene gas that can shorten the flowers' life. Additionally, readers will find scientific and common names, the best seasons for buying (e.g., lilies in spring, dahlias in summer), and fascinating facts about each bloom. An introductory section offers basic tips for styling arrangements at home and for keeping flowers hydrated and alive for as long as possible.

By the time readers finish flipping through the pages of The Encyclopedia of Cut Flowers, which features more than 150 gorgeous color photographs of flowers, they'll be experts in the field!
