I just gave this book to my mother, who paint flowers, and she just love it. A lot of excelent models for painting.

There are many varieties of flowers presented here in beautiful and detailed images. Very little text accompanies the images, but enough to chase down further if other information is needed. It is the images which are the prime focus -- and rightly so.
If I could wish for anything, it would be for more. And more. The design makes me wonder about why each specific flower/composition was chosen, and how many were not. I tend to want to see groupings and images that elaborate on one another.
Receiving this book is like being given a gorgeous and lasting bouquet.
