Accidental Botanist: The Structure of Plants Revealed

English

By (author): Robbie Honey

Global adventurer Robbie Honey spends much of his time searching out and deconstructing some of the worlds most exotic flowers. This book features more than 90 specimens collected from as far afield as the Malaysian rainforest, the African veldt, and an English churchyard. No plant is beyond reach. Each specimen is meticulously laid out and photographed using an iPhone, as soon as it is picked, to create miniature plant portraits. Robbies fresh approach gives traditional botany a contemporary edge. Arranged by colour red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, pink, then white the plants are highly accessible as well as beautiful to look at. Botany, at last, has been transformed for a modern audience. Robbie was born and brought up in Harare, Zimbabwe and studied horticulture, interior design and photography in England, Holland, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe. He trained in event floristry in London, under Ming Veevers Carter, and started his own company counting Hermes, Dior, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood amongst his many clients. Robbie lectures and holds masterclasses in floristry at the flower schools in London, Beijing, Seoul, New York and Virginia, USA. He has amassed a huge international following on social media.

About Robbie Honey

Robbie Honey has been immersed in botanical pursuits since he was a young boy roaming the wild grasslands of Zimbabwe. These adventures developed his already keen visual and olfactory senses and instilled in him a lifelong fascination with flowers and their scents. By the age of seventeen he was studying horticulture and went on to work in the floriculture trade in Holland and Kenya. Honing his creative sensibilities further he studied interior design and photography at art school in Cape Town. Moving to London he trained with floral designer Ming Veevers Carter and gained a thorough grounding in event floristry. Setting out on his own at twenty-five Hermès was his first fashion client followed by Dior and Armani establishing Robbie Honey as an in-demand florist within the fashion industry. With this rare combination of expertise: in botany floristry and the visual arts he started lecturing around the world on floristry and writing for the Wall Street Journal.
