Floriography

I have always had a fascination with the messages that were believed to be contained by the simplest of petals, and how in Victorian times, when many people were made to be quiet, flowers the natural beauty, proved to be a source of creativity and expression for all who concerned themselves. I have been on the hunt for a book discussing the messages behind each flower species and have been very sad at the dismal books I have found... This book made me extraordinarily happy the mere second I opened the cover, and gasped at the wisdom incased within the covers. This book is beautiful, brilliant and just what everyone interested in Floriography needs on their bookcases!

A gorgeously illustrated book!! Filled with the meanings behind flowers, and the occasional history of said meaning. Definitely using it to pick flower gifts.

This book was GORGEOUS! Filled with beautiful illustrations of flowers and their meanings. Would definitely make a great coffee-table book or gift for the gardener in your life!
