Russian scientist-naturalist Nikolai Fedorovich Zolotnitsky (1851-1920) is best known as the author of "Myths and Legends about Flowers". We present another, no less interesting work by Zolotnitsky. It will acquaint you with the history of almost a hundred flowers: from popular peonies, begonias and roses to the unjustly forgotten - the bar's spite, broken heart and reseda... Unlike "Myths and Legends", this collection has not been reprinted since 1913. A fascinating journey in the company of beautiful flora awaits you. You will learn what intricate ways flowers came to our gardens and homes, overcoming seas and oceans, deserts and mountain peaks to delight us with incredible shapes and flavors. What adventures and dramas have sometimes played out around these captivating creatures of nature! The book is decorated with paintings by outstanding artists, as well as rare examples of botanical illustration.
