Review Quote
“Chlorophyll never looked so good as in the gorgeous close-up photographs by [Marie] O’Hara. Green Flowers is an intriguing look at often overlooked plants for both gardeners and non-gardeners looking for inspiration through nature.”
“Changing the misperception that green is merely a foliage color, this high-quality alphabetical plant directory is even more browsable and attractive than previous Timber Press offerings focusing on single colors.”
“[Hoblyn] is known for her sophisticated all-green flower arrangements and ideas for growing an all-green flower border…If you need to spice up your garden with some unusual plants, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.”
The premise of this book is an imaginative one and shows a great love of nature. Little wonder that author Hoblyn is a painter as well as a gardener.
"The pages are lovely and occasionally surprising, capturing ordinary plants … in stunning photographs."
"This is an elegant and readable introduction to the subject, and has certainly got me wanting to try a few of the lesser-known green gems for myself."
"After falling in love with Green Flowers, you’ll want to grow and design with Mother Nature’s favorite color as revealed in her blooms, blades, and leaves. Green will never again seem ordinary."
“It puzzles me when people say their garden has no color in it. ‘Green is a color,’ I will gently remind them, as Alison Hoblyn ably proves in her delightful book.”
“This book deserves a place on the shelves of botanists, florists, plant lovers, and public libraries.”
