I happened upon this lovely book strolling through Barnes & Noble on a beautiful summer day. Bookstores always promise magic. Simply wander the paper forest and see what beckons you. On this day, it was a volume titled Flower Color Theory (Amazon had it for half the price) that caught my attention, and it has been blooming in my mind ever since.
The book is a collaboration between floral designers Taylor and Michael Putnam, and it reads like a visual symphony. I find that each page shows how color can guide emotion, shift a mood, and transform a simple arrangement into something beyond cut flowers—into abstract art that sets a mood.
