In the Victorian era, zinnias signified eternal friendship, rosemary symbolized remembrance, and sweet peas were traditionally given as a token of gratitude to hospitable hosts. The language of flowers has been used as a secret means of communication since ancient times.

Floriography is a full-color guide to the historical uses and secret meanings of popular and rare flowers and herbs. Its popularity increased dramatically in the 19th century, especially in Victorian England and the United States, when proper etiquette discouraged overt displays of emotion.

This beautifully illustrated botanical encyclopedia reveals the coded meanings hidden in various flowers that can speak of love and tenderness, sadness and regret, dislike and hatred. You will find examples of bouquets, the corresponding mythology or history, and suggestions for combining plants.

For those who love flowers and seek a deeper understanding of the meaning behind them, this publication will be a priceless gift.
