{"product_id":"tropical-flowers-of-the-world-lynda-e-chandler-9780486242064","title":"Tropical Flowers of the World Coloring Book","description":"Perhaps nowhere else has nature lavished more exotic beauty and color than on the tropical flowers of the world. Wonderfully variegated in shape, size, and hue, they bring a brilliant touch of finery to the rain forests and jungles of the world. Now colorists can imitate nature's spectacular palette -- and learn a great deal, too -- by coloring the 45 species of flowers in this book. The blossoms depicted here are the crowning glory of trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines found all over the tropics: Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, southern Asia, and the island world of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Lynda Chandler, a professional botanical illustrator, has provided detailed, scientifically accurate renderings of each flower, as well as colored versions of all 45 on the covers as a coloring guide. Among the species included: \u003cbr\u003eCannonball Tree (Brazil and Trinidad)\u003cbr\u003eFirecracker Flower (India)\u003cbr\u003eChalice Vine or Cup-of-Gold (Mexico)\u003cbr\u003ePink Quill (Ecuador)\u003cbr\u003eLobster Claw (Hawaii)\u003cbr\u003eAsiatic Lady's Slipper (Thailand)\u003cbr\u003eTorch Ginger (South Sea Islands)\u003cbr\u003eCup-and-Saucer Vine (Mexico)\u003cbr\u003eSausage Tree (Tropical Africa)\u003cbr\u003eRosy Moth Orchid (Philippines)\u003cbr\u003eSorrowless Tree (India)\u003cbr\u003eBird-of-Paradise Flower (South Africa)\u003cbr\u003e... and 33 more.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to precise line renderings of each exotic specimen -- based both on careful botanical research and direct observation of the species depicted -- the book supplies captions for each plant with this information: common English name; scientific name; color of the flowers; type of plant on which the flower occurs (tree, shrub, herb, vine); and the country or region to which the plant is native.
