Soonboke Smith, whose lucid and lovely Origami for the First Time explained all the basics of the craft, now shows how to use simple techniques to create lavish bouquets of paper flowers. With detailed, lushly photographed instructions for making more than thirty projects, the possibilities for origami floral arrangements are virtually endless. Make poppies, purple stars, perfect peonies, irises, lilies, pinwheel daisies, charming anemones, carnations, morning glories, and tulips, plus pretty petals and beautiful blossoms. Color photos present the finished products on display in pots, vases, baskets, and other containers--just like the real thing. Of course, all the fundamental folds and forms are covered, as there's advice on choosing papers, so important to the flower's final effect. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Great designs

I havn't had time yet to craft any flowers from this book but I did look at the flower instructions. I am very pleased with the designs contained in this book. The flowers have a geometric look rather than a natural one which is fine for me. Some of the flowers require special paper to acheive the same look of some of the flowers in the illustrations. To buy the special designed paper I ordered them online from a store in San franciso since they were not available where I live.
Excellent

I have practiced Origami for about a year now and I was looking for a book on Origmai flowers that I would find easy to follow and learn from. I have two young children so with limited time so I wanted to pick up the art of origami flowers quickly. This book is great, the photographs make learning Origami EASY. This book has definitions of all of the Origami symbols and teaches you the base folds of the harder origami flower techniques.
