Kirkby, Mandy.

The language of flowers : a miscellany / by Mandy Kirkby ; with a foreword by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. - London : Macmillan, 2011. - 187 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 20 cm.

"A gift of flowers has long been a popular way to mark an event. And while everyone knows how to send roses to their sweethearts, few may realise an entire language of flowers was created by the romantic early Victorians. By attributing a unique definition to each flower, every bouquet delivered a special message. Reviving the Victorian tradition, this ... miscellany contains fifty profiled flowers, a dictionary searchable by emotion, and ideas for creating arrangements for specific occasions"--Back cover.
