I was astounded by this book's ability to be as informational as it is beautiful.
With art and photography of high enough quality I want to frame it, this would make an adorable coffee table or waiting room book.
Some of the specificities Brenna Estrada included I wouldn't have thought to ponder in a million years. The differences in personality as cut flowers from cultivar to cultivar, the nuances in each bloom's fragrance. This could be enjoyed by anyone interested in pansies - seasoned gardener or not. I'd personally throw in a pack or two of pansy seeds and make it the perfect gift!
{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Brenna Estrana and publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!}
