The paintings of wild flowers by Cythna Letty have earned her the distinction of being referred to as South Africa's greatest botanical artist. Justification for this claim is to be found in the 174 colour plates reproduced in this volume. As Dr L Bolus says in her Foreword: if these flowers become our fast friends, we shall often recognise their affinities and will have at least a bowing acquaintance with many of their relations - near and distant.
