Price: 30.11 $ |  | Iris: Flower Of The Rainbow (Graeme Grosvenor) Plants go in and out of fashion as rapidly as hemlines rise and fall. Iris, along with other old-fashioned flowers like hollyhocks and hydrangeas, are once again popular, resulting in a flurry of new iris cultivars and books. Too often these books focus on descriptions and comparisons of all the truly gorgeous varieties of iris, rhapsodizing over falls and beards and color shadings. Sure, it helps to understand the differences between bearded and Louisiana iris, between species and cultivars, but what a gardener really needs to know is how to integrate these tall, stiff and flamboyant flowers into our home gardens. There are enough color photographs in Iris: Flower of the Rainbow to convince anyone of the beauty and possibilities of iris; tall bearded iris like hot spice in muted tones of cocoa, gold, and cream, or the delicately splotched lavender-and-white Japanese iris, freckled geisha, are nearly irresistible. What this book uniquely offers are drawings, photos, and advice on how t ...

Price: 45.00 $ |  | Roberto Burle Marx: The Lyrical Landscape (Marta Iris Montero) One of the most influential landscape and garden designers of the twentieth century, Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1993) has inspired generations of gardens around the world. His sweeping forms and painterly approach to planting were revolutionary when they first came to public attention in the 1930s, and many contemporary designs today owe his vision a great debt. Born in Såo Paulo, Brazil, the son of German emigrants, Burle Marx studied painting in Rio de Janeiro, an aspect of his work that persisted throughout his career. Drawing on his masterly knowledge of Brazils rich tropical plants, his fine-art training, and his love of music and sculpture, he began with private landscape commissions before his work caught the eye of architects Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. With them, Burle Marx created some of his most memorable works in Brasilia and elsewhere around Brazil. His later commissions included numerous parks, private institutions, and his own residence, the magical El Jardin de las ...
