I got this book as a gift and it's wonderful, I adore books about flowers. Though all I could think about while flipping though it is that the designer who worked on it is a giant! All cut in pen tool on a white background! hundreds of flowers, each one done individually! That amount of work is terrifying!

October 12, 2022I wish they marked each flower with a colour name, or added colour examples onto a page with suggested colour combinations. I have no idea what flowers in the book are blush, chartreuse, cream, pastel, etc.. Frustration. 😣

A beautiful book that packs in the illustrations but maybe it my age, but the images deserved to be bigger as it feels like a pocket reference book, rather than a go to florists, artists book
