The Language and Sentiment of Flowers is an in-depth exploration of the beautiful and subtle art of floriography, the cryptic communication via flower arrangement popularised in Victorian England.

Laura Valentine's beautiful volume gives insight to the wonderful art of floriography and details the various emblematic meanings of various flowers. First published in 1867, The Language and Sentiment of Flowers explores the coded messages Victorians would send to one another through flower arrangements and plants in order to express emotions and feelings that would be considered inappropriate to voice in polite society.
