The Language of Flowers Coloring Book - (Chartwell Coloring Books) by Editors of Chartwell Books (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Take a break from texting and posting to express yourself in the Victorian language of flowers.

During the Victorian era, secret sentiments could be expressed through the language of flowers, or floriography. A friend or lover could utter whole sentences by combining colors and varieties of plants and herbs and altering the position of the foliage. Floriography conveyed not only love and happiness--a well-chosen flower could express anything from indifference to passion. The Language of Flowers Coloring Book allows you to celebrate this charming tradition in full color.
