Meaning has been attributed to flowers for thousands of years, and some form of floriography has been practiced in traditional cultures throughout. Floriography is a means of cryptological communication through the use or arrangement of flowers. This is a joyous and unforgettable read that I recommend to everyone. Books like The Language of Flowers The Language of Flowers. This is the story of a girl who matures into a woman while dealing with some of the darkest times a human being can deal with and triumphing with a little help from her flowers.Īt the end of the book there are definitions for just about every flower and plant out there and what they mean. It is without a doubt a must read for historical fiction readers as well as people who as with Victoria may seek joy in flowers by arranging them, smelling then, or just looking at them. This work of historical fiction was a book club selection and that is how I came to read it.
For some it’s music, for some it’s art, for others it’s reading and for Victoria, in The language of flowers, it’s flower arranging. Everyone has their interests and passions that can take them away from darkness and into the light. ― Vanessa Diffenbaugh, The Language of FlowersĮveryone has their own way of coping with tragedy. “Perhaps the unattached, the unwanted, the unloved, could grow to give love as lushly as anyone else.”
