Facsimile of the 1913 original, consisting of hundreds of flower names and their symbolic meanings.
An essential guide for those of us who prefer the flowers to do the talking, but
don't want to inadvertently send the wrong message.
For example, you could give your lady almond blossoms – meaning 'hope'
– but don't ever give her almonds with them (even if they are sugarcoated),
as they symbolise 'stupidity'!!
Illustrated throughout with beautiful watercolours and handwritten flower names and definitions.
