The Language Of Flowers Coloring Book: A Floral Adventure Through Nature's Delicate Beauty

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 introduction includes full-color images of several flowers, with samples of what they could mean. The rest of the coloring book features more than 100 delightful designs to color, including beautiful bouquets, garden flowers and wildflowers, plus delicate patterns for coloring on the back of each page. 128 pages, by the editors of Chartwell Books.
