I think the biggest thing I got out of this book was a relieving feeling of finally getting over the intimidating world that is botanical Latin. She tells where they were discovered and by whom and any interesting medicinal tidbits about them before leaving you with the history of how they each got their Latin and/or common names. The author has picked 100 flowers to enlighten us about. I This is a little book that's kind of an interesting foray into plant collecting history for the garden lover.
