This is an early example of 'photoshopping'. The image of the bloom on the top left is the same as the bloom on the lower right. Also the lower central bloom is the same as one near the top left. I've noticed this type of thing also being done in other photos in this book.

But, but, but... HubertG, they were honest in those days weren’t they?
I can see a difference in the top right petal in the “lower central bloom is the same as one near the top left”.
I am not so sure about “the top left is the same as the bloom on the lower right”. They might be the same. I am flabbergasted.

The contrast on those two flowers are different but they look to me simply too similar in outline and other details to not be the same. It looks like some of the petals edges have been slightly cut off on the lower right one too. Also the lower left flower seems a bit suspicious to me because of those dark outlines on the upper petals. This doesn't make any sense against this light background unless it had been a flower that had been 'cut' from another photo with a dark background. I have this book somewhere. When I find it I'll post other examples. Just from memory I think the same was done to some of the 'Sunny South' photos.

The blooms of ‘Chateau de Clos Vougeot’ on page 49 at 9 o’clock and 1 o’clock are the same. Dear oh dear.... I think he was skilled at doctoring his photos. Look at the arch of Gwen Nash on p85 and the way his background fades out. It seems his ceiling roses are crashing down.

Lol, I prefer to think of it as creative visual aesthetics enhancement ;-)
At least he seems to be using the correct varieties.
