Art in Bloom flowers and plants

From your colleague Lynn Dunlap. a useful reference to flowers and plants used in AIB designs, recently updated in January 2020. According to Lynn:

“Each year, we have a few plant books in the lounge but it’s hard to find some plants due to names, clarity of photos, etc.  It seems docents often are trying to figure out which plant is ‘green trick’ or what’s that plant with the red tinged leaves.

This database includes common names, botanical names, two photos and additional notes, such as the symbolism of flowers.”
