FMP - Brief 5 - Horticulture Research

After deciding our direction and concept regarding horticulture, I came across a book in a wonderful little charity shop which looks at seasonal flowers, each season having a chapter. This will help me regarding content, I will be able to get a clear understanding of what flowers / plants to use within my surface textile pattern design. It also provides accurate photographs and illustrations to draw from.
