Whether you prefer the understated beauty of a simple daisy or the garish good looks of a flamingo lily, you''re bound to discover a flower in this book that you will find irresistible – and you will just want to pick up your pencil and start drawing! There are everyday garden blooms such as roses and tulips, delicate wild varieties such as primroses and bluebells, and a whole range of exotics, too, if you want to try something a bit different.

Every project also shows two finished examples of the flower – one shaded with pencil and the other with colour.
