A celebration of the glorious range and beauty of the flowers of Britain and Ireland, illustrated with photographs by the botanical photographers Dave Woodfall and Bob Gibbons. Celebrities introduce different areas of Britain close to their Scotland for Baroness Young of Old Scone, Northern England for David Bellamy, Bell Mooney in the South-West, Susan Hampshire in the South-East and John Humphries in Wales, to name a few. The pictures are accompanied by descriptions that explain the background to each shot, how and where it was taken, the time of year, and details of the species illustrated.
This work investigates the diverse botanical landscape of Britain and Ireland through a synthesis of high-quality nature photography and personal regional narratives. The authors, both experienced botanical photographers, curate a collection that documents specific floral species within their natural habitats. By pairing technical photographic insights with contributions from various public figures who discuss their personal connections to specific regions, the book provides a multifaceted view of the British and Irish countryside.
