My Thoughts
What a lovely book! The pictures are so pretty of all the different flowers. Granted I am limited in going to the flower shop where I live but this book has good ideas. There are explanations on how to create a good bouquet and is organized by colors. There are also good examples of using foliage and flowers as decor. How to buy flowers and when to buy flowers is also helpful!
I only wish I could grow a huge flower garden like the pictures, but I also have good thoughts on what to do with my wildflowers.
Great book for those who enjoy flowers and decorating with them.
