Beautiful book - a sweetshop of floral delights,
By
This review is from: 500 Flowers (Hardcover)
If you love flowers you will love this glossy book. The photography is superb - the detail of each flower is revealed to great effect against the black background, making the images 'zing out' from the pages. The Index of botanical names and place of origin makes it simple to identify each flower.
This book shows flowers as glorious natural confectionery and you will return to its pages again and again to sample its delights!

A Stunning Sequel,
By Designer (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 500 Flowers (Hardcover)
500 Flowers is a stunning sequel to Roger Camp's award winning Butterflies in Flight (it received the international printing industry's most prestigious award, the 'Benny' for superb printing and equisite design. Collaging lush masses of flowers against a black background, the pages become the digital equivalent of tapestries. This is unlike any flower book I've seen before. The overall design of the book makes the book as well as the flowers a work of art.

500 Flowers, a million smiles,
By Anthony W. Cordeiro - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Flowers (Hardcover)
I thought tha Butterflies in Flight was a crowning achievement. 500 Flowers is amazingly beautiful. Roger Camp uses his lense as a brush and nature as his palette in this essay of natures wonders.

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. ~ Cicero,
By Thea M. Ryan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Flowers (Hardcover)
Roger Camp's book, 500 Flowers, is an amazing collection of beautiful flowers and outstanding photography. Gardeners will relish the tour provided by the flowers from all over the world. Photographers will appreciate the intimate focus given each of the subjects.
Camp is familiar with each of his subjects, having raised over half of the blooms himself, in his own garden. His love of plants bursts from each page, as we see blooms of every texture, color, size, and shape. The Alluaudia procerr, a plant of Madagascar, had me searching the internet to learn more. Spiny and colorful, the Euphorbia tiracalli had me wishing I could go to Africa to see it in its native home. I live in the land of native echinacea purpurea, and the example in the book had me longing to go for a long walk in the tallgrass prairie near my home. This is a book you'll love forever. And, like Cicero, you'll agree, "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."

Beautiful photos,
By D. Dexter "Dee Dee" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Flowers (Hardcover)
This pretty hardcover book was a gift to a lady with dimming eyesight, and it was extremely well received because the pictures of flowers are all on a black background (very unusual) and so the flowers show up brilliantly against the black. Many many pages of flowers in combination, not identified. It's not an educational book, just a pretty picture book to enjoy looking through.
