A stunning collaboration between a master nature
photographer and a horticulturalist. Leaves are
everywhere, appearing in an astonishing variety of shapes,
colors and textures. They are the unappreciated gifts of
nature, worthy of far more extensive study by all.
Extraordinary Leaves is a celebration of one of
nature's miracles. As Dennis Schrader explains: "To prepare
this book, I have been obligated to take a more intimate
look at all aspect of leaves -their many uses, their place
in history, the science behind what's going on in a leaf and
the unadulterated, simple beauty of the leaf itself."
Photographer Stephen Green-Armytage discovered the
beauty of leaves while browsing in a greenhouse. The more he
looked at the intricate patterns, the more fascinated he
became. His photography in this book is the result of years
of study, and it is strikingly beautiful. Through
words and images, Extraordinary Leaves provides an
insightful tour. Topics include color, pattern, texture and
shape. Among the specific plants covered are coleus, kale,
caladium and ferns.
