ok, I don't *actually* arrange flowers very often but the pictures are pretty! LOL
I do find this book very helpful in identifying dried flowers. Sometimes I want to purchase a small bunch of flowers, especially in the winter months when fresh flowers are not available and I use this to find the names of the dried flowers. You can also use it as a reference to know what plants to buy to grow your own flowers that dry well, then just cut them and save them for winter. The pictures are very clear and up close so you can easily see the flowers. I would say it's comparable to the pictures in the DK handbooks which are always very good.
