This book offers ideas for selecting flowers and containers that can look beautiful in your home. Starting with basic design principles and ending with notes on flower care and conditioning, most of the book is divided into chapters by colour. With any book of this type the illustrations are the focus, and there are page after page of truly beautiful colour photographs. They make you want to rush out to the florist and spend all the grocery money on tulips or alliums.

I spent a delightful half hour going through this book, but I wouldn't buy it - pretty pictures aside, there's just not enough substance to it.
