The Intimate Beauty of Flowers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This ebook publication helps you appreciate the beautiful fine details of our garden flowers. We will look at a flower but not notice its intricate designs, markings, and subtle colors. Don't quickly glance at a flower but take the time to observe its more exquisite detail.

Gardening is a beautiful way to fine-tune our senses into gaining a better perception of the world. There is so much more to see in a flower than what we usually view and understand.

If you want to know a summary of this ebook, a quote in a Sherlock Holmes short story can summarize it. In "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock gives his companion, Dr. Watson, constructive criticism when viewing the scene of a crime. "You see, but you do not observe." Doyle based his Sherlock Holmes stories on the power of observation.

How does this quote apply when enjoying garden flowers? It's elementary, my dear reader, don't give them a passing glance but look at them intimately. The real beauty of any flower is when viewed individually and up-close. So close, you can see every part, color, and marking of that flower.

I have narrowed down five important observational studies for you to view a flower. They comprise its exterior and interior views, wildly colorful petals, gaudy double flowers, and markings to help guide pollinators. Each section will become more self-explanatory when viewing my photos of flowers.

So much beauty is passing us by, and we cannot stop and admire it. Take the time to experience and enjoy these "in plain sight" attractive features of a flower.

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.
