Floristry is really interesting. I'd like to know more though.

Does anyone know of a book that sets out the traditions of people from different ethnic backgraounds in relation to flowers? Or know of whereabouts I can obtain this information?

Recently I am looking at new ways to wax flowers, any new ideas to keep them looking perfect would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone tell me of a good intensive floral art course run in Sydney. I live in a regional area and am a mother of three and working full-time. I would like to get a solid grounding in floral design etc, over a couple of weeks. I can be contacted at annlewis@optusnet.com.au
