Native Plants of Kiawah Island

Native Plants of Kiawah Island: A Collection of Watercolors is a coffee table book featuring nearly two hundred botanical watercolors by artist Audrey Straus. Intended to be both beautiful and helpful, each plant is accompanied by its taxonomy and a bit about its preferred growing conditions. This book is a celebration of the flowers, trees and growing things indigenous to Kiawah Island in the South Carolina Lowcountry. 

It is a substantially sized coffee table book, bound in a slightly textured hardcover with a hand-sewn-in ribbon to mark your spot among the 375 pages. It makes an impact on any coffee table or stacked in your bookcase, measuring just over 11 by 9 inches with a 1 and 1/2 inch spine.
