"For centuries people have been using flowers and plants to embellish their homes. While styles of interior decoration echo the artistic and architectural trends of each era, the plants chosen reflect fashions in horticulture and delight in newly available varieties. Using engravings, paintings, letters, and diaries, and drawing on the rich archives of Britain's National Trust, Mary Rose Blacker relates the history of floral decoration from the delicate bouquets of the sixteenth century to the extravagant displays of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Just as recipes culled from old cookbooks provide a taste of the past, so flowers and plants can enhance the appearance of a historic or period room. Stunning photographs of specially commissioned flower arrangements, shown in the houses and great estates owned and preserved by the National Trust, provide ideas and step-by-step instructions for arranging Elizabethan wedding bouquets, Georgian-style garlands, Victorian table decorations, and much more. Flora Domestica includes a useful guide to historic plant and flower varieties available today. The vases and containers used at different times are also described, so that they can be replicated for authentic arrangements." -from the inner front jacket flap.
