I read Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart a few years ago and recently read it again. It is a “behind the scenes” history of the cut flower industry in the United States. Learn about the quest for the blue rose. (sold in Pike Place market), how flowers are grown in giant green houses and they never even touch soil or do you ever wonder why roses we purchase at the supermarket have no scent? Not only is this book a fascinating study of a unique industry, it also reaffirmed my love of the local PNW garden! Call No. SB443.3 .S74 2007
