The Wildflowers of Ireland
21st September 2010
Carsten's new book The Wildflowers of Ireland with comprehensive text by Declan Doogue, one of Ireland's leading botanists, will be in the shops from 1st October and already received a lot of praise:
The most important book on Ireland’s wildflowers in a century, packed with first-hand knowledge and a memorable beauty.
Michael Viney, The Irish Times
This remarkably beautiful book is an extensive guide to the country’s plant life. The text contains a detailed description of the country’s different habitats and the plant life of each, accompanied by stunning full-colour photographs.
The book is structured by proceeding from familiar habitats, such as flower beds, roadside verges and hedgerows, to rarer habitats such as natural woodland and unique areas such as the Burren. There are over 1,000 wild flowers to be found in Ireland, but a majority of them are so rare as to pass unnoticed. This book focuses on the 300 most common species. But the text is only half the story: Carsten Krieger’s exceptional photographs bring the subject to life in a vivid and immediate way.
Contains over 300 beautiful, full-colour images of Irish wild flowers photographed in the field.
The book will be launched at the Botanical Gardens, Dublin on 6th October at 3.30pm with a lecture by Declan, followed by an introduction to macro photography in the field by Carsten. Both Declan and Carsten will be around for a chat and to sign copies of the book.
We hope to see you there.
