What's a good reference for the geometry of G/B and G/P?

Is there a reference that develops the geometry of G/B and G/P where G is a Lie group, B a Borel, P a parabolic? More specifically, I would like a reference that does the Geometry section of Fulton's Young Tableaux more carefully.

Reference request: 2nd order Taylor expansion for functions between finite dimensional normed vector spaces using Fréchet derivatives

I'm looking for a reference of 2nd order Taylor expansion for functions between finite dimensional normed vector spaces using Fréchet derivatives. If this can't be found I think it would suffice for functions $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^d$.
