From Booklist
Although her earlier book, Jane Packer's New Flower Arranging, was a feast for the eyes, specific instructional material was kept to a minimum. Her new book is as practical as it is gorgeous, with beautifully photographed, step-by-step directions for every arrangement. Packer's floral designs reflect a refreshing, exuberant sensibility in combining texture, color, and container. Among the fresh and dried offerings are a bridal bouquet and informal hanging bunches of herbs and flowering plants. Included is a glossary describing specific traits of many flowers; professional tricks of the florist's trade are illustrated, helping ensure successful ventures even for the complete novice.

An excellent guide for the person who has to cook the dinner, set the table, and worry about the flowers in double time.
