Botanica Magnifica — by Jonathan Singer

It's a limited-edition (10 copies), five-volume double-elephant folio containing 250 of the photographer's intensely colored images of flowers, an example of which (a Chinese tree peony) appears above.

The first copy was donated to the Smithsonian and is on display in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. until October of this year.

The second copy has been sold for $2.5 million.

Laura Yao interviewed Singer for an August 31, 2008 Washington Post story.

Interested in one of the remaining eight copies of his book?
