One of the things I really appreciated in her Flower Year book was the index at the back that had a small pic of each page with the names of the various flowers in the pic so you could look up what colors to use for each if you want to. Wish this book had an index like that.

Love your review! Such a beautiful book and I like the increase of environments and fauna shown here! I coloured that image of the bird with the fancy crest you were wondering about - I did some googling and discovered it's called a Hoopoe! Shame that there isn't a list of what all the flowers etc in each pic are... I wonder if the publisher or Leila herself might add a guide online? I'd love that, because for realistic illustrations like this I often like to colour them true to life!

Hi Wendy, there are some mandala type of images, but like you said there’s lots to love. There are still plenty of full single and double pages, bouquets and spherical designs. I usually go by my rule, if I don’t like at least 50% of images in a book then I bypass it 😊

Being a nature lover I love this book! I have on my desk a magnifying glass on a lighted stand which helps to colour in small details. I'm thinking of trying my Grabie watercolours in this book. What do you think? Her artwork is so delicately drawn. Cheers.........Monika

I think they’d work beautifully in this book Monika. With the bigger size book the details are easier to see, but I love the magnifying glass idea 🤍

Hi Monika, do you mind sharing what kind magnifying glass are you using, please. I bought one by Oushiun but it didn't work for me, I still can see better with my normal glasses. Maybe they don't work for people that already wear glasses, I'm not sure.

This book is a lot like floribunda and flower year. Those books had the flower and butterfly names listed to identify what they were. I wish this book had the names of the oceanic images and flowers. There is no way of telling what any of the butterflies and fish are unless you look it up in some reference book. If anyone knows where I can find the names of the images in this book.
