The Complete Language of Flowers: A Definitive and Illustrated History by S. Theresa Dietz
4.0
This book provides a comprehensive dictionary of flowers (as well as some other plants) and their symbolism and historical uses. The best way to utilize this book is a reference guide, finding specific flowers that you're interested in learning about when you are interested.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and seeing these mini snapshots of history of each of the flowers described. It was interesting to get these bits and pieces and see how different cultures used these plants in the past. I wish we could have had guides for suggested bouquets based on different types of messages you might want to send, but I understand that this would be a lot to add to an already-sizeable guide.
Thank you to NetGalley and Wellfleet Press for providing an advanced copy of this book for review. All opinions are my own.
