Items related to Some Flowers
In Some Flowers, originally published in 1937, Vita Sackville-West took the novel step of choosing 25 of her favourite flowers and describing their appearance, origins and characteristics – and the best ways to grow them – in a series of brilliantly expressive pen portraits which retain their vitality over 70 years later. In this fresh edition of the book the exquisite watercolours of Graham Rust provide a perfect marriage of words and images, clearly demonstrating at last the accuracy and ingenuity of Vita Sackville-West's descriptions. This glorious second flowering of her personal, erudite and poetical book will not only delight her many admirers but also guarantee her reputation with a new generation of gardening enthusiasts.

From the Author:
Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) was an author, poet, and gardener. She created the Sissinghurst Castle Garden, which is among the most famous gardens in England. Graham Rust is a painter and muralist and the author of ThePainted Ceiling and The Painted House.
From Booklist:
Vita Sackville-West will always hold a very special place in gardening lore as the creator (along with her husband) of England's renowned and highly influential gardens at Sissinghurst. In her lifetime she was also acknowledged as an outstanding writer on horticultural subjects. First published in 1937, Some Flowers contains 25 descriptive passages in which the author highlights some of her favorite flowering plants and gives advice on their cultural requirements. Originally, Sackville-West's text was accompanied by stark black-and-white photographs. But in this lovely reissue boasting full-page watercolors, Graham Rust's very capable artistry provides a more fitting accompaniment to Sackville-West's eclectic choices. Alice Joyce
