Flower Symbols Content
Flower symbolism has been a significant part of every culture since antiquity. Flower symbolism reached the highest level of development in the Victorian era.

This book is ideal for gardeners, designers, decorators and flowers lovers of all kinds!
Responses from Readers
"This book shares detailed information with a joyous heart. Well researched and hard to find information included in each chapter. Flower Symbols is a great book to give as a gift."
"Flower Symbols is a precious and enlightening book....The day I read the book, I immediately used it to craft a birthday bouquet that communicated hope, playfulness, and magic. What fun. As icing on the cake, Karlsen also provides an overview of essential oils and healing uses of flowers."Â
"This little book reveals special meanings that different flowers have for humanity, and it has inspired in me a deeper appreciation for the unique blossoms of nature. While it seems we give flowers for gifts and to show we care all the time, this book gives further explanation as to what we might be communicating and sharing with others when we relate with flowers in art or on the doorstep. I enjoy revisiting this book when I am spending time with flowers in the garden or in the meadow."

The Romans associated calla lilies with winter solstice, the darkest day of the year. Calla lilies were forced to bloom indoors to celebrate the preservation of the light and to bring this flower meaning light indoors. Small prints of this painting are available.
