Summary Note

“If you compare the following fifty flower portraits you will note the great variety in their shapes and colours. The living flowers, especially when examined through a good magnifying lens, would reveal even more variety, and yet all these flowers exist for the one purpose - to produce fertile seeds so that the species may continue. We are fortunate that they do this in so many different ways, for as you study them you will be entranced by their intricate beauty, a beauty which is common to them all, from the lowliest buttercup to the rarest orchid. These cards are arranged approximately in the order of flowering. C.F. Tunnicliffe.” [Inside front cover].
