Review by: Mandy Apgar
The author has done some other, much better, books on
plants and botanical history, such as the one on the rose. Here she is
concerned with tulips, orchids, poppies, roses, sunflowers, lilies, and
the lotus in terms of how each plant has impacted
history. Some of the events are a bit of a stretch with how she overemphasizes their global importance, and her language gets pretty florid
at times. Would have benefited better from an author with a less verbose
style & not as prone to be poetic.
