A red rose for love, an anenome for expectation, and a small white bellflower for gratitude: the Victorian Language of Flowers took the world by storm with its ability to communicate meaning both subtle and specific.
Here you will find a collection of the reference guides used at the time - both Kate Greenaway's 1884 guide relevant to Europe and the UK, and the 1881 guide from Gems of Deportment, relevant to America - as well as a collection of story excerpts, descriptions of use, and explanations on how to arrange a bouquet to convey the desired meaning.
The perfect reference guide for authors, romantics and floriography enthusiasts.
Please note the print edition differs from the ebook edition with content such as images excluded to keep print and retail costs accessible.
