Gave it as a gift November 25, 2008
This was a gift for my mom on her birthday. She seemed very impressed with the pictures and thought they were just beautiful. She said the pictures were inspiring. I feel good about this purchase although I wish I had a copy myself!

Zen of Watering Your GardenHi I am the Author and editor of a book that has good to great photographs. All are not as great as these. But my book has a wide array of not just flowers but other wonders to be found in Mother Nature's vegetation. Each photo is paired with an aphorism, poem or thought to encourage the viewer to see where one can easily immerse themselves in the garden process and achieve an inner peace. Matt Cohen
One of the most beautiful books I own February 2, 2008
As a fashion designer, I look for inspiration everywhere.
I felt attracted by the picture on the cover and I wasn't dissapointed at all when I received the book.
The author capture trough his vision the simple beauty of nature and gave me that sense of movement and fragility that I was looking for while working with the colors and textures of my next collection.
A real treasure.

I just gave this book to my mother, who paint flowers, and she just love it. A lot of excelent models for painting.
 Excellent variety and a beautiful presentation August 4, 2005
There are many varieties of flowers presented here in beautiful and detailed images. Very little text accompanies the images, but enough to chase down further if other information is needed. It is the images which are the prime focus -- and rightly so.
If I could wish for anything, it would be for more. And more. The design makes me wonder about why each specific flower/composition was chosen, and how many were not. I tend to want to see groupings and images that elaborate on one another.
Receiving this book is like being given a gorgeous and lasting bouquet.
