Diamine Flowers Ink Collection - Now Available

[cultpens]

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 ...

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.
