Beautiful potted histories

Corinna Ott Weber Potted Histories is a beautiful book which gives the impression of being much bigger than its real size. It is a book that makes me want to have all the plants and flowers depicted in it (the pictures are just lovely, with a romantic touch), and it has a very special way to show how life can be much nicer with plants surrounding us in our own home. This paperback edition is of a great, great quality. It has a lot of photos, also of a very good quality. It is delightful to have a look at them again and again. I recommend this 144 pages of beauty to every person who likes to sit down with a good "friend" and enjoy a moment of vibrant peace and silence... maybe with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Like the authors say in their Introduction, "this is a very unusual house plant book - a cross between horticulture, natural history and botany. But why?". Treat yourself to this fascinating book and have the joy of answering this question by yourself.
