Meaning the first thing a reader sees when they open the page will naturally be the flower itself. on the left-hand page and an illustration/portrait of the flower on the right. Each flower profile has its common name, genus, meanings, origin (for the meaning) and pairs with. The format is simpler than it sounds but effective. The background colour depends on the flower not the meanings to them. The colours are well balanced with some put on white backgrounds, some on black. I appreciate the whole thing, I do recommend the book if it There are many others this would appeal to too, it is gorgeously illustrated the flowers all look so soft but real. It is a simple but beautiful book that is a must for those with an interest in Victorian culture or floristry.
I hope this book, apart from offering a view into the history of floriography, will encourage readers to look at flowers and herbs in a new way, perhaps assigning their own meanings to the blooms that inspire them most.
The elegance and beauty of flowers have not dwindled-only our knowledge of their coded meanings.
