From the overleaf:

Elton Jonh's inimitable style embraces a passion for his houses and garden, where he indulges in a riot of flower fantasies. Spirited, lavish and beautiful, these arrangements are spectacular and created to his exacting taste and preferences in presentation, color and use of flowers. Elton's country house near Windsor, just outside London, and his Holland Park home, are the showplaces for his passion - apparent both in his country garden, designed by Rosemary Verey and Sir Roy Strong, and in his exquisitely appointed interiors, where carefully orchestrated fresh floral displays are created each week. Flower Fantasies shows a year of dazzling arrangements in his homes, room by room, and embracing all the seasons.

Elton John's Flower Fantasies is a celebration of Elton John's style, infused with his personality and creativity as well as his love of flowers. With Caroline Cass, he speaks of his devotion to flowers and how they are displayed throughout his houses. Color is a major theme of the arrangements, which bring together both simple, bold statements and surprising and beautiful combinations.

Elton John's Flower Fantasies provides an inside view of Elton John's homes, with their breathtaking collections arranged in a series of extraordinary rooms infused with his highly individual personality. Each room is adorned with paintings and objets d'art that complement the magnificent arrangements. Many of Elton's trademark possessions - hats, jewelry, clothes, shoes and spectacles - are also on display, making each photograph a charming personal affair.
