Summary: My thoughts on "THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS"
Review: Ever since I was a little child, flowers have always been one of my favorites of all God's creation. I think of them as the expression of serenity, beauty, and God's glory. I have thought that flowers have their own language; they just feel like it. So upon just seeing the title of this book, I fell in love with it.

It was a little book--not intimidating in size, and seemed like a book for someone who loves gentle, quiet, beautiful things. Lovely drawings of blooming flowers were intertwined into each page. The printing was like a country mother's journal handwriting, and the pictures like ones that would hang in a breezy country home. The dedication note from the author to her mother was sweet and loving, and was followed by a short, yet intriguing poem. The rest of the pages in the book were made up of a charming alphabetical list of the names of flowers, followed by what they mean or represent. Their meanings expressed the emotion their scent and color evokes in the mind of the viewer.

I found this book to be full of wholesome, clean information, completely non-offensive; and its words were metaphors of love in themselves. I recommend this book highly to anyone who finds flowers beautiful and interesting, and wants to find words to describe what flowers say. It is also good for anyone who wants to plant flowers according to their symbolic meanings. This book receives an A+ from me, and is a definite must-have for flower-lovers of all ages.
