A Lovely Book

This illistrations are gorgeous if you like victorian style oil paintings. The poetry and tales about the flowers are fun also. Enjoy!!

Most wonderful gift book

Language of Flowers is full of classic poetry, mostly love poems, revolving around over forty well-known flowers. Each flower represents a character quality;e.g., innocence, female ambition, grace and elegance, etc. In addition to the poems, a brief paragraph or two is given explaining the history and use of each flower. Finally, nearly each page has prints of beautiful oil paintings, of course, with the given flower in it. Overall, a wonderful gift for a lovely lady or a poetically-minded man.
