A poetry book on the theme of flowers. The book contains individual poems, each inspired by the traditional messages conveyed by the giving of specific flower types, also known as "floriography." This book, attributed only to, "a lady," focuses on flowers that would have been popular in traditional Victorian gardens, and uses the bouquet as an overarching organizational model.
