Seeing Flowers'

In 'Seeing Flowers: Discover the Hidden Life of Flowers,' by Robert Llewellyn and Teri Dunn Chace, Mr. Llewellyn photographed each of the book's 343 images anywhere from eight to more than 50 times. He created the final photograph using special stitching software to put every part of the flower in focus. Ms. Chace describes the science behind it all.




Purple Sensation' Allium
Small, individual flowers, each showing off classic lily family flower parts in sets of six, jumble together in exuberant display.

Passionflower (Passiflora caerulea)
From the time early Spanish missionaries 'discovered' it in Mexico, perhaps no other flower has so engaged public fancy.
