This new title in the Kew Pocketbook series is a celebration of Mexico's impressive flora, and it includes everything from orchids, chili, and cacti, to marigolds--which are associated with \u003ci\u003eDía de los Muertos \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrations--and dahlias, the national flower. Forty of Mexico's signature plants are showcased here, illustrated with color paintings from the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew--one of the most extensive collections of botanical art in the world. An introductory chapter by Kew horticulturist Bryony Langley provides a comprehensive overview, and extended captions accompany each painting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBryony Langley \u003c\/b\u003eis a botanical horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171145453703,"sku":"9781842467671","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/eb2f98b07ad616c291b8db1363efece9.webp?v=1733353445","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/kew-pocketbooks-mexican-plants-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
