Language of Flowers - Kate Greenaway

Richly visual and designed for browsing, it presents an abundantly illustrated list of over 200 plants alongside their figurative equivalents, with examples such as tulip = fame and blue violet = faithfulness.

At the back of the book, a selection of flower-related verses adds further interest, including “To a Mountain Daisy” by Robert Burns. With 85 full-colour illustrations across 80 pages, it makes an engaging choice for readers drawn to botanical symbolism and classic illustration.
