I just finished reading the novel "The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and highly recommend it.
It's a wonderful story about love and forgiveness. The reason I posted about it here on a wedding forum, though, is the underlying theme about the meaning of specific flowers based on books about the language and poetry of flowers written in the 1800s. I am intrigued by the idea of selecting wedding flowers based on the meaning behing them...
sage...good health and long life
periwinkle...tender recollection
plum...keep your promises
moss...maternal love
narcissus...self-love
Just a few examples.
Has anyone else read this book?
