My husband had a relapse of brain cancer. Originally he had it in his 20's. It went into remission for 27 years and then came back with a vengeance. He is an engineer and has developed problems communicating which can be frustrating for both of us. An activity we can do together is to color these beautiful flower arrangements with colored pencils.These arrangements are gorgeous. And any color he chooses for the picture is perfect. We take turns putting a little color in the picture. He loves the intricacies of the arrangement yet it is easy enough to follow to color if we take it one item at a time.This coloring book is a real life saver/therapeutic item in my arsenal to help my husband stay engaged in this world.
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!

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 , 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!
This is my 3rd (i think) purchase of this book. I love doing flowers and this one has also wonderful containers. I would be better as a creative haven book with one side only but I still love this beautiful and inexpensive book. Highly recommend if you love using colored pencils as your medium. Great for the person who loves to color or even a gardener who loves flowers. Its fun to do it over and use different colors for the same picture.
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 .com are great. I have quite a few of them.
Bought as a Christmas present and was disappointed. There are pictures on both sides of the paper so unless you use crayon or colored pencil, you have to choose which drawing you want to color, as the color with seep into the picture on the reverse side.
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.
