Description

Floriography: A Colourful Guide to the Secret Meanings of Flowers Discover the hidden language of flowers, a charming and mysterious world of coded significances and secret meanings. This beautifully illustrated guide explores the historical uses and symbolism behind over 100 blooms, from flowers for a lover to those for an enemy. Researcher and illustrator Jessica Roux brings this fascinating world to life with stunning full-color illustrations. The language of flowers was a popular means of secret communication in the 19th century, particularly in Victorian England and the US, where it was used to convey emotions and messages discreetly. Floriography is a stunning display piece, conversation-starter, or thoughtful gift for anyone interested in floral arrangements, gardening, and the romanticism of historic traditions.
