Description
Compiled using popular superstitions and ancient folklore, this dictionary focuses on the meaning of flowers. It looks at such subjects as how the Cowslip became the symbol of joy, and how the bramble bush became known as the plant of envy. It also covers more practical uses that can be gained from flowers, such as finding a cure for insomnia or memory loss.

This is a collection, beautifully illustrated, of some of the "meanings" of flowers. For centuries flowers were used as a way of sending messages, but those meanings have been forgotten by most people. This is an enjoyable way to revive old traditions, and enjoy some of the folklore around flowers.
