The Complete Language of Flowers: A Definitive and Illustrated History by S. Theresa Dietz
4.0
This book is an alphabetical listing of over 1,000 flowers by their Latin name with small illustrations of what they look like. Each flower has its scientific name, its common name, if its toxic, and folklore and facts. Some flowers also have extra information provided like symbolic meanings, possible powers and specific color meaning. The reference book is very well organized and easy to find whatever flower you are looking for, even if you only know its common name.
I know basically nothing about flowers and their meanings so this book was fascinating. I especially loved the folklore and facts part about the flowers. There is a lot of interesting facts to learn about flowers. Overall, this was a wonderful reference book for beginners and experts. I highly recommend this book if you are a flower person or want to be a flower person.
