An evocative and richly illustrated exploration of flowers and how,
over the centuries, they have given us so much sustenance, meaning,
and pleasure The bright yellow of a marigold and the cheerful red
of a geranium, the evocative fragrance of a lotus or a
saffron-infused paella-there is no end of reasons to love flowers.
Ranging through the centuries and across the globe, Kasia Boddy
looks at the wealth of floral associations that has been passed
down in perfumes, poems, and paintings; in the design of buildings,
clothes, and jewelry; in songs, TV shows, and children's names; and
in nearly every religious, social, and political ritual. Exploring
the first daffodils of spring and the last chrysanthemums of
autumn, this is also a book about seasons. In vibrant detail and
drawing on a rich array of illustrations, Boddy considers how the
sunflower, poppy, rose, lily-and many others-have given rise to
meaning, value, and inspiration throughout history, and why they
are integral to so many different cultures.
