"Flora Mirabilis" will delight gardeners, flower lovers, and history readers alike. This book is essentially an illustrated history of the human-plant interaction from prehistory to the present day, punctuated with narratives telling the best stories from that eons-long history. Illustrating these stories are more than 200 beautiful and historical color images, all collectors' edition reproductions from the world-class botany archives of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
