From Library Journal
This unusual flower-painting book delivers even more than its title suggests. Season by season, month by month, Blockley explores blossoms, seedheads, fruits, berries, and foliage. An accomplished author of several art books and the owner of a gallery in the Cotswolds, Blockley ably demonstrates this rich assembly of small observations within orchards, hedgerows, conservatories, and gardens. There are several other good flower-painting books, such as Susan Harrison-Tustain's Glorious Garden Flowers in Watercolor (LJ 3/15/99). This one, however, proceeds from a more balanced perspective on both wild and domestic nature. Highly recommended for all collections.
