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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBryony Langley \u003c\/b\u003eis a botanical horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Royal Botanic Gardens Kew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50509051265298,"sku":"9781842467671","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b247a090-183f-4d72-979d-6beb6d24291b.jpg?v=1730886659","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/kew-pocketbooks-mexican-plants-9781842467671","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
