WARNING
25 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
I've made one flower arrangement for a girl's birthday at work; and since then all the girls at the office want one too. So I've made about 16 different flower arrangement, and I have about 16 more. Please, if you want to purchase this book, you have to first learn how to say... No.
It is a wonderful book, along with "Origami Flowers" by Hiromi Hayashi. Yet please note, in both books you cut, glue, and paste. They are not books on how to make an origami flower from a single square of paper by folding only. Also they are not a book I would recommend for a beginner origami folder (and no, you don't have to be an expert either).

The Good Side of 3/5
1 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not quite sure what I Think about Blooming Origami but what I Feel is that the book is Ok. It's well done and the diagrams are clear. The models are interesting - complex but achievable. I've enjoyed most of it so far.
The part that I don't like about the models are that a lot of them require scissors. I made a New Year's Resolution in 2009 to memorize a flower model so that I could fold one anywhere, anytime. And therein lies my problem with the book: I can't meet my resolution without scissors. I don't see a solution because complex models require complex bases that require scissors to form. I've got myself a Catch-22. I can't fault the models, but I can't quite celebrate them. I expect other books are the same.
However, if you know-about and accept the scissors from Day 1, I think you'll love the book for some of the gems it contains.

Great book
14 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a great book for beginners. The diagrams are simple and the designs are easy to do. I do prefer other more advanced books for my flowers, but this one is a great one to start out with. I have been doing origami for over ten years and I do use this book often.
