naming the garden: fifty flowers and their latin names
Naming The Garden is a gentle introduction to botanical Latin. The striking photographs of 50 garden flowers with hand-lettered Latin name tags are accompanied by pronunciation guides and information about the derivation of both the Latin and common names. Artist Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord wrote, illustrated, and designed the 114 page volume. The book began in 2017 as an art project combining photography and calligraphy inspired by her aging mother-in-law Lyn Gaylord who had encouraged her to learn the Latin names of plants. It was published in August of 2021 and dedicated to her memory.
