The Illuminated Book of Blooms is a stunning, one-of-a-kind celebration of the world’s flowers. Written and illustrated by award-winning painter Robin Crofut-Brittingham, it features her lush, large-scale paintings of iconic blooms from Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe. She presents flowers together—grouping them by geography and family, and in special categories like medicinal, poisonous, and nocturnal—and delights in exploring their cultural and mythological significance.
Each plant also receives an individual spotlight, with curious facts that will surprise new and seasoned flower lovers alike. In these lush pages, you’ll discover elegantly painted blooms from across the globe in a unique botanical adventure.
