Beautifully made! Well above average
Superb gift for a girl/woman. Each page is scented differently with the various flowers depicted in the book. I've used two of these as gifts and each were received as being a real treasure. Beautifully made! Well above average. Even if the recipient is not much of a reader, the illustrations and fragrances will be appreciated.

Great Mother's Day Gift
I got this book for my mother for Mother's Day. She loves flowers and collects teacups with flowers on them (which I also got her). She really loved the book and the drawings. Thank you for getting the book to me as quickly as you did so I could give it to her for her special day.

It really is a treasure
This little book (it fits in the palm of a hand!) is sure to delight any lover of flowers. It enlightens both the intellect and the atmosphere, as the end-papers are scented with a faint violet potpourri. Lovely reproductions of oil paintings depicting gardens and flowers of all sorts grace every other page, along with a short description of each flower's meaning (roses=love, lilies=purity, etc.) It's the perfect sort of book for tucking into a pocket and browsing at the bus-stop. But beware, the print is tiny!

Lovely!
Bought this for a friend. We had just read The Novel The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and this was a great supplement to that. Her novel was inspired by this Victorian era book.

またひとつ、宝物が増えました
ずっとずっと欲しかった本を、マーケットップレイスで安く手にすることが出来ました。 LILY OF THE VALLEY ANEMONE HONEYSUCKLE FORGET ME NOT VIOLET ROSE BLUEBELL ・・・・・・ イギリスを象徴する43種の花と花言葉を、その花が描かれている油絵や、 ヴィクトリアン調のイラストと共に読むことができます。 16年前の本なので、香りが残っているとは期待していなかったのですが、 かすかにスミレのような香りがします。あとがきにもその理由が書かれていました。 大変美しい、スミレ色の装幀です。
