Our rocks are rough, but smiling there The Acacia waves her yellow hair, Lonely and sweet. Nor loved the less For flowering in a wilderness Then come - thy Arab maid will be The loved and lone Acacia tree.

Excerpt from Flora's Lexicon: An Interpretation of the Language and Sentiment of Flowers; With an Outline of Botany, and a Poetical Introduction
The language of flowers has recently attracted so much attention, that an acquaintance with it seems to be deemed, if not an essential part of a polite education, at least a graceful and elegant accomplishment. A volume furnishing a complete interpretation of those meanings most generally attached to flowers, has therefore become a desirable, if not an essential part of a gentleman's or a lady's library. In the manual now offered to the public, an attempt has been made to comprise all that is important in the way of interpretation in a reasonable compass, and to adorn this part of the work with such quotations from the best poets of our language, both native and foreign, as have a direct and graceful reference either to the peculiarities of the flowers, or to the sentiments which they are made to express. The outline of Botany placed at the end of the volume will be found to contain a sufficiently clear exposition of the Linnean system to explain fully the scientific terms and the classification used in the body of the work.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of floriography, the language of flowers, a means of communication that blossomed during the Victorian era. Flowers, with their delicate petals and vibrant hues, transcended mere aesthetics to become messengers of heartfelt emotions and secret messages. The author meticulously unveils the symbolic meanings ascribed to various flowers, weaving a tapestry of historical anecdotes, botanical insights, and poetic references. Each flower is portrayed as a unique emblem, carrying a distinct sentiment, from the ardent passion of the red rose to the unwavering loyalty of the forget-me-not. Beyond a mere dictionary of floral meanings, this book explores the cultural significance of flowers in Victorian society. It delves into the etiquette of gifting flowers, the art of composing tussie-mussies (small bouquets), and the role of flowers in literature and art. Ultimately, this book invites readers to rediscover the enchanting language of flowers, a timeless form of expression that speaks to the depths of human emotions. By understanding the symbolic meanings behind each bloom, we can appreciate the profound messages conveyed through the simple act of giving or receiving flowers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
