A Year of Flowers, Webb & Bower Miniature Pocket Book, 1983

This is such a beautiful little book. A Year of Flowers by Lesley Gordon is filled with exquisite botanical illustrations arranged through the months, each plate rich with colour, detail and quiet charm.

Published in 1983 by Webb & Bower as part of their much-loved Miniature series, it features carefully reproduced historic flower engravings alongside gentle, informative text. The pink cover, decorative endpapers and jewel-like plates make it a joy to hold as well as to look through.

It’s the kind of book I love for slow moments, dipping into a single page, leaving it open on a table, or keeping close for seasonal inspiration. Perfect for flower lovers, gardeners, and anyone drawn to botanical art and thoughtfully made books.
