This is a detective story which investigates the use of Australian flora in French design at the turn of the 20th century. It is about explorers, gardeners, artisans, artists, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. About plants and people and cultural cannibalism.
I never wanted to start a blog but now that I am planning to spend two months in Paris and friends have asked me to let them know what is happening I think I had best bite the bullet and get started.
