I have always loved everything Victorian, so when I saw this book I knew I had to have it. The book has a few bouquet suggestions, with explanation of what message they send, followed by an alphabetical list of flower-to-meaning, then message-to-flower list. For example, if you want to tell someone to be careful and good luck on whatever they are planning to do, you can look up the words “beware”, “courage” and “good wishes” to make a bouquet out of those flowers. Likewise, you can look up the flowers you have received to decode the message you may have received, if you have friends who love flower language.
