Download or read book Florapedia written by Carol Gracie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an engaging and informative compendium of flower facts. Similar in a nature to Lawrence Millman's Fungipedia, the book brings together a wide range of interesting facts and stories-ranging from the historical to the scientific to the whimsical. The book has roughly 100 entries, beginning with achlorophyllous flowers that feed on the roots of a host plant, and ending with zygomorphic flowers, that pose an interesting puzzle for pollinators. In the entries in-between, readers will explore with John and William Bartram, smell the rotting corpse flower, learn about the miniature ecosystems entangled in Spanish moss, and much more. Similar to Fungipedia, the book is intended for a general audience, but thanks to Gracie's depth and breadth of knowledge, and her artful prose, it will also appeal to seasoned flower enthusiasts. The entries are accompanied by approximately 50 line drawings from Amy Jean Porter"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treasury of Flower Stories Once upon a time a great poet, walking down along the margin of a bay, saw before him ten thousand daffodils tossing their heads in a sprightly dance, which fairly outdid the sparkling waves in glee. And so pleasant was their golden host that ever afterward as the poet treasured them in his memory his heart danced with the daffodils, and at length he wove them into a beautiful poem and gave to the world a picture which will last for aye.

F our present chapter should be little more than a list of names, the study of this branch of flower-lore will not be without value or interest . It will help us to form some idea, perhaps, of the vast variety of flowers which now grace our gardens and hedgerows; will teach us how thoughtful the Creator has been in spreading over all the various seasons of the year, from morning till night, and from New Year to Christmas, a plentiful array of blossoms and berries for cheering the eye and delighting the other senses of man; will reveal to us some of the marvels of plant-life; while, lastly, we may learn something more of the history of words, of the calendar, and other subjects which are worthy our attention. We will begin with the lower divisions of time and gradually ascend the scale; and as we do so our first business will be to notice that some flowers bear the name of a particular hour or period of the day. Thus we find a plant growing in Mexico and elsewhere, which has acquired the name of Four-o'clock. Its more general name is that of Marvel of Peru (Mirabilis), and it is so beautiful and fragrant a plant, that it well deserves the latter title. But its more colloquial name is not less appropriate, seeing that it has been given on account of the regularity with which, in some cases, the flower opens at that hour. I shall have to speak of another name for this plant by-and-by. Then we have a Lady Eleven-o'clock (Ornithogalum), or Eleven-o'clock Lady, called in French also Dame or Belle d'onze fieures, from its waking up and opening its eyes so late in the day. For fifteen days it opens regularly at eleven o'clock. This flower is also called the Star of Bethlehem, by which name perhaps many will more easily...

Excerpt: ... to his sister that he turned his burning gaze full upon the intruder. Rodanthe endeavored to leave the pedestal to escape his scorching rays, but her feet were held fast and her body and limbs turned into branches covered with leaves. In place of the Queen of Corinth there stood a rose tree, full of beautiful yellow flowers. "Tho' changed into a flower, her pomp remains, And lovely still, and still a queen she reigns." The throng who were about the temple were turned into thorns to guard her beauty, and the too ardent lovers were transformed into a worm, a drone, and a butterfly. There is a Roumanian tradition of a fair princess, who went to the sea to bathe. The sun was so dazzled by her beauty that he stood still for three days. Of course, that interrupted the progress of night, and so upset things generally that Jupiter changed the princess into a rose tree. Whether this was before, after, or in the time of Joshua does not appear. In the garden was a lily and each aspired to be queen there. The rose supported her title by the poets. The height and dignity of the lily gave her an imperial appearance. Their respective rights were so warmly debated that Flora, the goddess, finally interfered as arbitrator. Cowper gives her decision in these words: "Yours," she said, " the noblest hue, And yours the statelier mien; And till a third surpasses you, Let each be deem'd a queen." Sir John Maundeville, in his wonderful travels, tells of a maiden of Bethlehem who was accused of a crime and condemned to be burned. As the flames were kindled she prayed to the Lord that, as she was not guilty, He would cause her innocence to be known to all men. When the fires reached her they were immediately quenched, and the fagots that were burning became red...
