⁂ "The pictures in this book are not of flowers themselves, but of subjects suggested by their names... All the pictures take the same form, a circle about six inches in diametera kind of magic mirror in which the vision appearsand he wished them not to be separated, because, wide as is their scope, one spirit, that of pure fantasy, unites them." - Georgiana Burne-Jones (from preface).
