[ad_1]
A charming, gorgeously illustrated botanical encyclopedia for your favorite romantic, local witch, bride-to-be, or green-thumbed friend.
Floriography is a full-color guide to the historical uses and secret meanings behind an impressive array of flowers and herbs. The book explores the coded significances associated with various blooms, from flowers for a lover to flowers for an enemy.
The language of flowers was historically used as a means of secret communication. It soared in popularity during the 19th century, especially in Victorian England and the U.S., when proper etiquette discouraged open displays of emotion. Mysterious and playful, the language of flowers has roots in everything from the characteristics of the plant to its presence in folklore and history. Researched and illustrated by popular artist Jessica Roux, this book makes a stunning display piece, conversation-starter, or thoughtful gift.

Customers find the book visually appealing with beautiful illustrations and appreciate its detailed descriptions of flower meanings. The writing style is simple and easy to read, and customers consider it a perfect gift for plant lovers. They like the flower content, with one customer noting that each page is dedicated to one flower, and find it good value for money. However, the book lacks a bibliography, which some customers find disappointing.
