Showcasing seven stunning floral arrangements, with a flower key at the back of the book, and clever gatefolds as well as search-and-find prompts for interactivity, fold-out pages open to reveal beautiful arrangements of flowers, in a variety of hues, organised in gradation, showing the extraordinary of rich variety of colour in the natural world. The book features seven colour pairs to illustrate the full spectrum, revealing the astonishing range of shades found between familiar colours - and showing how colours connect to one another.
