Oddly Historical Garden Flowers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It may surprise you that some garden flowers have played a small but integral part in historical events and people. This entertaining ebook describes a few of those strange historical encounters. This is not a how-to guide on how to grow them but on explaining why they helped influence the course of events and the people involved.

Flowers are personal objects. They have inspired artists to paint them on their canvas, representing religious themes or as botanical models inspiring outstanding beauty.

Some flowers helped contribute to the actions and thoughts of notable and slightly less famous people. Prominent writers of sonnets and poems have written about admiring flowers in expressions of love and the horrors of war. We have even used them for medicinal usage to help cure ailments of the body and mind.

This ebook presents a short but informative and hopefully enjoyable review of those odd or rare occurrences when flowers became part of historical events. It's all about their beauty to our senses, emotions, and spiritual well-being.

The following pages detail a few selected garden plants that "made a difference" in world history. What remarkable stories those plants and petals can tell us! They may continue to play an incredible role in some present or future event or highly influence a person or people.

Autorenporträt

G. Edwin Varner grew up on a farm helping his father in the crop fields and assisting his mother in the flower and vegetable gardens. This early experience and learning lead him to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Botany.

For twenty years he successfully owned and operated a fragrant flower mail-order nursery. Unlike most mail-order nurseries publishing colorful but expensive pictorial catalogs, his frugal catalog extensively described the flowers he grew. He once said, "I write a thousand words worth a picture in my catalogs." Today, he has the same style of writing (thankfully with fewer words) through a variety of enjoyable and informative ebooks. This time, the ebooks include color photos of each flower.

He encourages you to cultivate something unique and beautiful in your gardens. His motto is "read about it, see it, grow it and enjoy it!"

G. Edwin Varner is the owner of Green Thumb Publications and lives in a rural area of northeastern Ohio, USA.
