'Hyacintorchis'
Een nieuwe orchidee aan de Noordzee

Bestel uw exemplaar hier


"Ik heb zojuist een prachtig fijnzinnig boekje uitgelezen: ‘Hyacintorchis’. Waarom blijft dit boek in mijn hoofd rondspoken? Natuurlijk word ook ik geraakt door de wonderlijke ontdekking van deze prachtige orchidee en zie ik de fijnzinnige schoonheid van de werken van Esmée Winkel. Wat in mijn hoofd blijft hangen, is het besef dat verschillende mensen ieder op hun eigen manier geraakt worden door de onmisbare schoonheid van de natuur om ons heen.”
- boswachter Mark Kras


In haar boek neemt Esmée de lezers mee in haar werkproces, van schets tot schilderij. Het boek is een ode aan de duinen en de Nederlandse natuur. Het eindresultaat van de illustratie is adembenemend. Elk detail van de plant is natuurgetrouw afgebeeld, bladvraat en al.  De 38 bloemen staan nu te stralen in het boek 'Hyacintorchis'. Voor de echte natuurliefhebber"   - Leidsch Dagblad
