The language of flowers
Henrietta Dumont
A snowdrop means hope, a primrose early grief, and an almond blossom whispers indiscretion. Henrietta Dumont decodes the whole Victorian language of flowers, matching each bloom to its secret meaning. Charming, romantic, and endlessly quotable. A pocket dictionary for lovers who spoke in bouquets. For anyone enchanted by the old art of saying it with flowers. Send your message in petals.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
