A celebration of flowers by a writer who loves their intense natural colours, and the spirit and the energy they bring to a room. She also demonstrates the power of flowers to convey mood: modernity, joy, simplicity, sensuality, mystery, stillness, beauty, energy, love and purity.

This paperback edition of Tricia Guild's Cut Flowers increases its accessibility factor with the squishy small format, yet without any desirability sacrificed. The seductive transparent cover wraps up a treat which truly lives up to its promise of a "lyrical photographic essay".
This is a winning format from an ace team: design guru Tricia Guild, design writer Elspeth Thompson and interiors photographer James Merrell. Seamless page design, with words and visuals flowing into each other, delivers plenty of knowledge without ever cramming.
Fans of Designers Guild, the hugely influential home-furnishings company created by Tricia Guild, will instantly spot the influence of flowers on the label's trademark vibrant colours and prints. Enigmatically headed chapters such as love, purity and stillness provide an innovative way of grouping flowers, while the alphabetical glossary, complete with factual details, comes at the end. As Tricia Guild states early on "This book is not about fancy arrangements." Instead it reveals a true discovery, with photographer James Merrell capturing the sensuality of flowers as if they were human bodies.
Quotes ranging from artist Georgia O'Keefe, to poet Pablo Neruda add to the portrait of the flower world. But it's Guild's own words which stay with you: "To look long and deep into the face of a flower is a modern-day meditation." This is truly inspiring. --Lorna V
