The Language of Flowers: A Treasury of Verse and Prose Scented by Penhaligon's

by Sheila Pickels, Sheila Pickles

About this title: The Victorians turned flower giving into an art, and Sheila Pickles's The Language of Flowers explores the meanings and significance ascribed to certain flowers. Penhaligon's 'Violetta' perfume scents the book, and violets are one of the more than twenty such English flowers whose myths and legends are explored and their subtle language revealed. This treasury makes the perfect gift for occasions when something more lasting than flowers is appropriate.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
