Gerbera - Diamine Flower Set

[visvamitra]

Now based in Liverpool, the history of Diamine dates back to 1864 when the company was founded by T Webster and Co. in London. The business moved to Liverpool in 1925 and T Webster and Co. changed its name to Diamine in 1964.

Diamine now produces one of the largest ranges of fountain pen ink and fountain pen cartridges as well as the famous Registrar's Ink for permanent records.

Some time ago Diamine started to offer ink sets. I had a chance to review two of them:

1. Diamine Music Set
   
2. Diamine 150th Anniversary

Thanks for the review. I got the Flower Collection set for Christmas a year ago, but haven't tried all the inks in the set yet. This was one I was sort of putting off trying because I'm not much of an orange ink fan, and because I had been so disappointed in the orange-tinged red color of Tulip. But it reminds me that I have yet to try 3 other ones in the set as well. And to pull out the ones I did like again (particularly Aster, Cornflower, and Carnation.
