''Tropical flowers are often whimsical, seductive,
and alien creatures.'' --Eileen W. Johnson Stunning,
exotic and colorful tropical flowers are the shining
stars in this stimulating look at tropical flower
arrangements. Eileen Johnson and Felipe Sastre of
FlowerSchool New York demonstrate how orchids, elephant
ears, ginger, anthurium, and more fit into modern
settings. Whether used in a penthouse, a bouquet for a
bride, or as fireplace decor for Christmas, tropical
flowers can be unexpected, fresh and stylish. With
step-by-step instructions on how to create tropical
floral arrangements, it's the perfect inspiration for
styling unique works of art with these exquisite
flowers. Eileen W. Johnson is the director of
