Bláthanna—the Irish word for ‘flowers’—is a testament to the magic that unfolds when artistic vision meets a deep knowledge of flora and an inherent understanding of space. This gorgeous, cloth-bound coffee table book is a stunning curation of floral short stories, presenting spectacular displays of seasonal blooms in diverse and exceptional locations across the length and breadth of Ireland.

Drawing inspiration from the rich textures of the Irish countryside, the book’s 19 chapters showcase imaginative floral styling set against magnificent exteriors and elegant interior rooms. The artistry on display ranges from flamboyant installations to minimalist and boldly decorative arrangements. Alongside breathtaking photography and poetic writing, each chapter delves into the unique history and legends of the chosen locations, complete with detailed lists of the flowers used.

Authored by the team behind renowned Dublin florists Appassionata Flowers (Ruth Monahan, Ultan Devaney, and Kasia Skopińska), this anthology offers a beautiful floral lens through which to view the landscape they call home. Combining consistently surprising artistry with deep botanical passion, Bláthanna is a joyous celebration of floristry, creativity, and Ireland itself.
