Diamine Flowers Ink Collection - Now Available

Recommended Posts

Following the success of their Music Collection, Diamine have now released their much-anticipated Flowers Collection. Like the Music Collection, this is a boxed set of ten exclusive new colours of bottled ink.

 

From the ink colours to the dark green presentation box, the Flowers Collection takes inspiration from nature and features ten bright ink colours representing well-known and much-loved flower species.

The ten colours are: Marigold, Carnation, Pansy, Bougainvillea, Cornflower, Aster, Burgundy Rose, Tulip, Iris and Gerbera. These new colours will not be sold separately.

We'd love to know what you think of this set. Which is your favourite of the colours? How do you think this compares to the Music Collection? Have they missed your favourite flower? And what themes should Diamine turn their attention to next?

I find the colours more to my taste than the Music Collection and I especially like the Marigold, Burgundy Rose and Aster. But I still find it very expensive, especially as the rest of the colours may not be too much to my taste. Most of us who like Diamine prefer to test them with the plastic 30 ml bottles and get the 80 ml bottles for the colours we like which is much more cost effective than the sets. I could get 10 large 80 ml bottles for the price of the set and if I want to spent 60 pounds on Diamine ink that is what I would do. Now if the set was at 40-45 pounds then it would be a different proposition. I would then see it more as a fancy way to test some inks and believe I would have already ordered it. Now let me think which 30 ml bottles I am going to buy next week ... :rolleyes:

The colors are nice, especially a couple of them, but I will never be buying a "collection" of inks... We live in a very small house (under 300sf) and every item has to be fully worthwhile to earn space around here, no way will I be buying something when it involves not actively using it or giving away parts of it. So while interesting and pretty to look at, not for me no matter that I would buy a full bottle of one of them if it were available by itself. I have all but Bougainvillea in my yard, though, so I approve of the grouping. :)

I love me some Cornflower, but the set has too many colors that I would never use. I'll just have to find some other ink that reminds me of that particular brilliant blue.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
