Lavender: Fragrance of Provence
This work comprises 132 opulent color photographs taken in the French region of Provence. Silvester photographed lavender and its hybrid, lavandin, in every season, lovingly capturing the ever-changing shapes and colors in the region's mountains and plains. Meunier's text, augmented by six black-and-white photographs, offers a brief history of the plant--it has grown naturally in Provence since ancient times, and since about 1900, it has been grown commercially--and explains how the plant is cultivated and harvested, then describes its medicinal and therapeutic uses.George Cohen--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
