This big, glorious big book mines Te Papa's collections to explore and expand upon the way we think about our botanical world and its cultural imprint. A true treasure,
it features over 400 selections by an expert, cross-disciplinary museum curatorial team that range from botanical specimens and art to photography, furniture,
jewellery, tivaevae, applied art, textiles, stamps and more.
Flora's twelve essays provide a deeper contextual understanding of different topics, including the unique characteristics of New Zealand flora as well as how artists
and cultures have used flora as a motif and a subject over time. Elegant, expert and engrossing.
