Lilacs mean <i>the first emotions of love, </i>periwinkles <i>tender recollection</i>. Early Victorians used flowers as a way to express their feelings--love or grief, jealousy or devotion. Now, modern-day romantics are enjoying a resurgence of this bygone custom, and this book will share the historical, literary, and cultural significance of flowers with a whole new generation. With lavish illustrations, a dual dictionary of flora and meanings, and suggestions for creating expressive arrangements, this keepsake is the perfect compendium for everyone who has ever given or received a bouquet.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mandy Kirkby</b> is an editor and a flower enthusiast.
