Just what I was expecting

Admit it: you're that type of person who judges a book by its cover. Nice ones, though; beautiful and bright flowers, maybe with the little stem sticking out underneath the flower petals? I hear you. The world has some truly stunning botanical beauty for us to enjoy in "Flower." Explore in awe from A-Z varieties like cherry blossoms and roses as well as lesser known species such as lotus flowers or black narcissus. Hailed as “magisterial" (NPR) and "a long poem written across centuries," this is Phaidons' brilliantly orchestrated tribute to our mother earth's most precious resource: flora.
