A Victorian flower dictionary in color
Kate Greenaway’s compact volume presents the traditional figurative meanings assigned to more than 200 plants, pairing entries such as tulips and blue violets with their symbolic associations. Its format combines a floral reference list with 85 full-color illustrations, making the imagery as central as the definitions. A closing selection of flower-related verse, including Robert Burns’s “To a Mountain Daisy,” extends the book beyond the glossary format. Originally rooted in nineteenth-century flower-language traditions, it offers a visual record of how plants were used to convey sentiments and ideas.
