This colorful Victorian book evokes an age gone by, before the days
of email and overnight shipping, when communication between people
was a very special occasion, made more difficult by time and space.
To Victorian letter-writers of the West a new, exotic and secret
language came from the East-communicating through flowers. The
language of flowers became so refined in the nineteenth century
that this dictionary was necessary. Using this source, one could
send a message of reproach, passion, friendship, quarrel or a
myriad of other sentiments singly and combined via a simple bouquet
without ever penning a single word.
