Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few hardy flowering plants have as much to offer as the pansy, viola or violetta. Easily cultivated and very resistant to pests and diseases, they guarantee flowers from spring until autumn and are in many ways the ideal garden flowers. This guide covers every aspect of the subject of pansies, violas and violettas: the history and development of the garden pansy; the introduction of viola and violetta; techniques of propagation, cultivation and exhibition; and raising new varieties. Together with a substantial descriptive list of named hybrid varieties and details of specialist nurseries, it also includes lists of recommended species and advice on raising plants from seeds.

Download or read book Gardening with Shape Line and Texture written by Linden Hawthorne and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2009-11-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardening with Shape, Line and Texture bridges the gap between garden design books and plant reference encyclopedias. Leading landscaper Linden Hawthorne looks at plants from a designer's perspective (where color is often a secondary consideration) and emphasizes the important roles of plant shape. Part One reviews fine art principles and shows how they can be successfully applied to plant compositions by grouping plants into three heights: ground to knee, knee to navel, and navel to crown. She identifies different plant shapes—buns, mounds, tiers, fountains, uprights—and shows how the use of them contributes to the success of the finished design. Part Two is a plant sourcebook with plants listed alphabetically within their key plant shape categories. This innovative plant reference delivers plant information in a form that neatly dovetails with the garden design process and will inspire gardeners to look beyond color and begin to appreciate the whole plant.

Download or read book The Viola d Amore written by Rachael Durkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first scholarly history of the viola d’amore, a popular bowed string instrument of the Baroque era, with a unique tone produced by a set of metal sympathetic strings. Composers like Bach made use of the viola d’amore for its particular sound, but the instrument subsequently fell out of fashion amid orchestral standardisation, only to see a revival as interest in early music and historical performance grew. Drawing on literary accounts, iconography, and surviving instruments, this study examines the origins and development of this eye-catching string instrument in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It explores the rich variation of designs displayed in extant viola d’amore specimens, both as originally constructed and as a result of conversion and repair. The viola d’amore is then set into the wider context of Elizabethan England’s development of instruments with wire strings, and its legacy in the form of the baryton which emerged in the early seventeenth century, followed by a look at the viola d’amore’s own nomenclatorial and organological influence. The book closes with a discussion of the viola d’amore’s revival, and its use and manufacture today. Offering insights for organological research and historical performance practice, this study enhances our knowledge of both the viola d’amore and its wider family of instruments.
