false 175786 1 <p> Nothing lights up a room like flowers. Whether it's baby's breath draped on a table at a wedding reception, clusters of daffodils in small pots scattered throughout a living room or a bucket of sunflowers on a picnic table, a strategically placed bouquet has the power to create a mood and make us feel special. Unfortunately, most of us don't know how to display flowers properly, and they often end up clumsily thrown together in a vase. </p> <p> In <I>A Passion for Flowers,</I> Carolyne Roehm teaches readers how to create arrangements that set off a flower's natural beauty. She discusses the overall features of dozens of the most popular flowers and helps readers understand how these elements relate to each other. Though the book is filled with ideas for brightening holidays and special occasions, Roehm stresses that the magic of flowers should be enjoyed year-round. Organized by season to profile the blossoms as they come into their glory, bouquet "recipes" with step-by-step instructions are sprinkled throughout along with special care instructions for more sensitive blooms. Sections detailing containers, conditioning flowers and elements of floral design are included at the end of the book. <I>A Passion for Flowers</I> features 250 breathtaking photographs and is a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration that will help readers stop and smell the roses every day. </p> 169827 29 10 1997 A Passion for Flowers total:5|5:2|4:1|3:2| 5 20 7 2 3 0 false false Sun Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 12:53:08 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 13:00:14 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Feb 26 11:06:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 20:10:08 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 11:29:05 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 11:29:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 30 11:02:47 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 11:02:47 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat May 17 10:10:11 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 10:10:11 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Feb 08 08:09:40 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 08:09:40 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 14 07:06:48 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 07:06:48 -0800 2008
