The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) is a series of 38 round watercolors, each about six inches across, painted from 1882-1898. The paintings do not depict flowers, rather they were inspired by the flowers' names. Burne-Jones called them "a series of illustrations to the Names of Flowers." "Not a single flower itself appears," according to his wife Georgiana. They were painted for his private pleasure, many while he was resting at his summer home in Rottingdean.[1]

A facsimile edition of 300 copies was published in 1905 by Georgiana Burne-Jones in cooperation with the Fine Art Society in London. It was printed by Henri Piazza who hand-stenciled watercolor over collotypes using the pochoir technique to produce brilliant colors. These copies of the "Book" were sold in both bound and unbound form, with the unbound copies contained in a clamshell box.[2]
Copies of the The Flower Book are in the collections of the British Museum, the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery and the Delaware Art Museum.[3][4][5] Taschen has reprinted the book in a modern format.
