A Visual Resource
The following books are primarily intended as a resource of images of flowers and plants for Jane's workshop students, although anyone interested in daydreaming over picture books will also finds these useful.
Many of these titles will, of course, be available at your library. If, like us, you are book junkies who need to have them on your shelf, you can find many titles from the big book chains while others are out of print. You might try finding the out of print books at used book stores in the real world or online...happy hunting!
