Words of a Bibliophile
"It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away." —Bee Gees
A Victorian Flower Dictionary: The Language of Flowers Companion by Mandy Kirkby
I liked this even better than The Language of Flowers, the novel of which it is a companion (a rather disappointing novel, actually). The illustrations inside this book are not quite as "lavish" as the description on the back cover promised, and the lack of references lends a certain vagueness to the various flora-related anecdotes described. But what can I say, I just really like flower symbolism, I find it quite fascinating.
