Media Reviews

Like a Pantone guide for flowers, this glorious book is a survey of 400 plants and their colours. --Bloom

A simple, delightful book that consists solely of page after page of flower photos arranged by color, from a crisply white azalea to a stunning purple-black calla lily. It's the highly-organized (or obsessive-compulsive) garden lover's dream. --Garden & Gun Online

An endearing and comprehensive flower guide organized by colour. Four hundred flowers photographed at their peak look resplendent on the page. Alongside the gorgeous photographs, they also note every bloomer's common and botanical name, seasonal availability and most coveted position in a flower arrangement... A useful guide for flower enthusiasts, especially those who struggle to achieve an even half-perfect flower arrangement. --The Lady

Flower Color Guide is different... Browsing through it feels joyful and clean, like walking into a well-appointed house... You'll want to keep on browsing through the pages. --Artsy
