    About this ebook

    This revised kindle edition contains additional illustrations of flowers, captioned to include their meanings

    A pretty book matching flowers and plants to their meanings. Listed in both in alphabetical order and in reverse order (matching meanings to plants/flowers) the book also contains many charming 19th Century illustrations.

    A selection of flower-themed poetry is also included at the end of the book, eg. Daffodils (Wordsworth); The Rose (Waller); The Sensitive Plant (Shelley); Adonis Sleeping (Keats); The Daisy (Chaucer).

    A useful reference book for exploring symbolism in nature.
