Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 1, 2020

Great book, for those who is looking for meanings of the flowers and to match flowers/plants to a meaning. It does not have illustrations so if you want to have pretty book with lots of flower pictures, that is not it. You will need to look up image of flowers you don’t know elsewhere. However that does not eliminate usefulness of this source.

I was expecting pictures of flowers to be in it for some reason, there aren’t, but there is a lot of really interesting information and it’s such a cute little book!

Valuable information

Let me be clear. This is a reference book. The first part alphabetically lists the property (example Release Negativity”) and then shows what flowers/plants have that ability. The next section has the flowers/plants alphabetically (example “Wormwood”) and lists the main/common properties of that plant. Following that there is an index of the plants and which pages in the “properties” section that they are referenced. This is relevant because there are some aspects the plant has which may not be listed for the plant. There is a section of regional plants and one that describes different cultural symbolism (the meaning behind the number of roses in a bouquet).
I have many many books about the magical meaning of plants which I reference when I make incense, but none have been as thorough and easy to use as this.
I’m so glad I took a chance (after reading a review here) and purchased this book!

What I was looking for but maybe not suited for everyone

This book is exactly what I needed. So far it's been very helpful. The front of the book, section 1, has a very short describing idea with the according flower (ex. Forbearance> Tamarind) AND THEN in the back, section 2, it lists each flower that is in the book individually and expands on the meaning that was listed in section 1 (ex. Tamarind> faithfulness, durability, forbearance). I do admit that it was, at first, daunting to navigate. But after I sat down and really looked at what was in the book, I found it very easy too find what I was looking for. I do want to state that THERE ARE NO IMAGES, and I am personally very okay with that. Even without images the book gives very good information and honestly I feel as though its better without the images. Because, without images I don't form immediate opinions on how the flower looks rather than its meaning. Instead, I have to look at its meaning and decide if it fits the mood I'm going for, and then look up an image of the flower. Overall I was very happy with this book. The font is pretty and in this adorable green color, and aesthetically its a very beautiful book.
For those more looking for pretty flower illustrations I suggest getting The Complete Language of Flowers, By S. Theresa Dietz. The illustrations in this book are beautiful and it gives a bit more information on the background of each flower. I have both of these books and I like to cross reference them.
Also check out Etsy for antique botany books if you're purely here for the illustrations. They have some cool stuff too.

I got this for my 9yo cousin as a bday gift. She's all about fairies, crystals, flowers and the like. She's not much of a reader, but I think she's going to love this book. It has such great detail and the pictures are well illustrated. Being a artist myself I definitely appreciate the style.

Have been looking for a book like this for so long...

Simple and easy to read. It's basically a dictionary about flowers, tells you about their different meanings without including any other unnecessary information. The first half tells you which flowers you may use depending on the message you want to convey ( for example: Admiration>> Lavender, Heather, Scabiosa, Purple Orchid). The second half of the book uses the flowers name and then tells you its different meanings (Carnation, Red>> love, compassion, romance, be mine, abundance, progression, life-force, yes).
If you simply want to know the meaning behind the flower, then this book is perfect. However, if you want to know the history or myths related to the flower then you should probably keep looking.

I purchased this book for a flower project and have used it a lot and enjoy learning the meanings of each flower. It also has birth month flowers and the anniversary flowers among others such as national flowers and flowers of the zodiac. It is a nice size and organized so it's easy to find what I'm looking for.

Yes the book lacks illustrations, but the amount of information it contains in just a few hundred pages is incredible. List of meanings with flowers associated with them, list of flowers with their associated meanings, and a section of other plant symbolism like zodiac signs, national flowers, etc. Exactly what I wanted!
