This is a huge, gorgeous book full of beautiful pictures of flowers. Note that it's about the healing powers of flower essences -- not actual flowers, essential oils or herbal remedies but homeopathic remedies that are sold after flowers are soaked in water that is then diluted so none of the actual flower is in it. It's designed to help you figure out what flower essences you need to buy to solve your problems and I don't really subscribe to that sort of thing, but I was inspired to plant more flowers around my yard and also loved all the little quizzes and such.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Quite fascinating! This book really explores our connections to nature, and how nature can heal us. Not just a book for gardeners, with gorgeous photographs. Exploring the power of flower elixirs can benefit all. Recommended.

What first caught my eye was the stunning photography done by Louie Schwartzberg. It is not easy to capture the true beauty and full magic of flowers. But I feel this book has done a beautiful job doing that.
Flowerevolution has a profound way of seeing flowers and the transformative power they have. It was hard for me to put this book down and not read it from cover to cover.
Katie Hess describes the (solely) positive effects that occur from using flower essences. She shares the unique circumstances in which she collected flowers and how they can communicate to us what their essence can be used for. There are some exercises and rituals that Katie shares. In the first part of the book she also discusses some case studies from her own practice and the experiences her clients had. The descriptions of the flowers are organized and very easy to understand. It's perfect to use as an encyclopedia and read about the flower that you're interested in at the moment.
I was left feeling inspired and felt a whole new appreciation and wonder for flowers.

Amazing book if you want to get the idea of what flowers can do to our everyday lives. A recommended read!

Nature always amazes me. Learning that the energy of plants is much more vast than I realised.
Only downside I found was that there was so much advertising for flower elixir which at first was a bit eye opening but then with each new chapter, I kept seeing it and its discussion. So I had to skim a few pages.

Katie Hess is absolutely amazing and such a gift to the world we live in right now. Every time I was reading this book, it felt like warm hugs. The instructional information and explanation of what to experience with flower essences was on point and helpful. I will be returning to reference this book on a regular basis from now on.

"Flowerevolution" as one word in the title is a warning. Absolute drivel and mostly a personality quiz.... all I wanted was gorgeous plant pictures. Boohiss

Gorgeously done, yet accessible. A friend recommended this and I was dubious however the flower insights and meditations are powerful yet fun and inspiring. This book just strikes the right cord.

I'm astonished and delighted with the content of this book. It is filled with beautiful flower pictures and useful information about flower essences and their uses. There are also suggestions for tracking the changes that take place when using flower essences. What a great book. I Love the great amount of knowledge that is shared with us so we we can find a new way to improve our lifes naturally. I also appreciate that she shares the formula so we can make the elixir our selfs, or buy on her website. Most of the times authors write about products but we don't know where to buy the product that we can trust, and she gives us good options. I recommend reading this book it's a eye opener. In an exchange for an honest review I received an e-book from Netgalley.com, but I loved this book so much that I bought the printed book.
