As a grown woman desperately trying to find something to keep her hands busy with something other than cigarettes, this beautifully illustrated book was just what I needed! I have absoloutely no talent, so I couldn't sew or paint, but I could colour! I recommend this book to any adult who is trying to quit smoking, or just wants a little down time!

Since I was a child, I have always loved to color. Now I am age 65 and back to it, again. The books that are available at Amazon.com are great. I have quite a few of them.

I am 59 and have about 25 of these Dover Coloring books and really like all but 2 of them. (it is just a matter of what you like, though). When you buy these from Amazon, you get one free if you buy 3. I took the suggestion of several reviewers and bought a good set of colored pencils. I got regular and fine line. My daughter (also an adult) wanted to color some, too. I came up with the idea to copy them on my printer for her. Then I decided to copy all of them when I want to color. This way we can use the pictures over and over. This book of flowers can be done in endless color combinations. It is nice to use a heavier printer paper. Be careful, we find it to be a very addicting past time!

I recently discovered the world of Coloring Books for Adults and have been having a blast. Finally, I get to have my very own huge box of crayons and another of color pencils--the biggest sizes I can find. I am finding the coloring to be relaxing and stress relieving as well as a bit of a challenge to figure out how to blend colors and do highlights and other artistic things, remembering that I have no artistic ability whatsoever.
This book is fun because I get to play with all different colors of flowers and arrangements.
Well worth the money.

The only reason this review is 4 stars instead of 5 is because markers bleed through to the next page even though I place a plain sheet between pages when I color I outline in marker then use a lighter shade of crayon to color inside this looks really good when you do the baskets the flowers come in the flowers themselves are big enough for detail coloring the pictures turn out great. I also purchased Favorite Roses but Floral Bouquets is my favorite I made a second purchase so I could use different colors for the second book and I may purchase a third

I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
