Thank you Amazon for carrying a wonderful selection of Stefen Bernath's books!! I use this particular book, by Stefen as a guide for watercolour sketching and painting. Garden Flowers contains a collection of more than thirty common flowers showing detailed shape and colour, including colour guilds that can be referred to for accuracy. An excellent reference book.

I purchased this coloring book for my grandmother who has Alzheimer's. It helps her feel as if she is accomplishing something and also she is using her mind and hands to stay in the lines. It's an ideal coloring book for anyone who wishes to color like they use to.

I bought this book not to color in, but as a source for clear line drawings of flowers to use in other design work. It works very well for that, with nice, unfussy illustrations of the flowers. Just as important as the blooms, the leaves and stems are also accurately rendered. There is very little addition (birds, butterflies, etc.) - that's fine with me, but some users might want a more detailed picture to color. The small colored guide pic's are apparently done in colored pencil, and provide a lot of detail for realistic coloration.

My one reservation is that some of the illustrations don't show the blooms full-on, but only in profile and 3/4 views. I always want to be able to see how the center of a flower is constructed. Overall, though, very nice.

My daughter has enjoyed learning the names of different flowers and then coloring them. She remembers them more because she has a chance to color them. We also use the internet to look up the different flowers and learn more about them and what colors they are. She enjoys this also and it helps her to create her masterpiece.

This adult coloring book is fantastic. The images are very realistic and easy to complete. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially with the new Crayola coloring pens.

I love Dover Coloring Books! This one is great! With each picture is included the name of each flower (common and Latin), a physical description, and when it blooms. Each flower is also shown in color on the front and back cover (and inside).

Flowers in this book:
Bleeding-Heart, Calendula, Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Clematis, Corepsis, Cosmos, Crocus, Daffodil, Dahlia, Day-Lily, Delphinium, Erigeron, Foxglove, Gaillardia, Gladiolus, Hollyhock, Hyacinth, Iris, Lupine, Marigold, Monkshood, Morning-Glory, Narcissus, Nasturtium, Oriental Poppy, Pansy, Peony, Petunia, Phlox, Portulaca, Primrose, Rose, Salvia, Snapdragon, Sweet Pea, Sweet William, Tritoma, Tulip, and Zinnia.

I bought this book for an elderly senior citizen in a nursing home who suffers from depression. She has found many hours of enjoyment from coloring in the book to pass the time. I highly recommend it for someone in a similar situation who might need a diversion from the realities of their life.

Whther your thumb is green or black you cannot go wrong with this. 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!

This is a great book. I love flowers and love to decorate this helps me decide which flowers i like in what color scheme.

Great coloring book. I bought it for an adult friend of mine who enjoys coloring and she loved it!
