Explore the hidden meanings of flowers in this elegant colouring book, filled with over 45 flower designs and their secret associations.

Did you know that every flower carries its own special significance, which can also be influenced by its variety, hue and form? The daisy is associated with innocence; the lily evokes majesty; the passion flower symbolises faith - to name but a few. Flowers evoke different emotions, passions and feelings.

The language of flowers, also known as floriography, is well understood in the East, where it is expressed in poetry and literature, while in Europe was recorded by Shakespeare - for example, in his masterly delineation of the madness of Ophelia. Many flowers derive their meaning and symbolism from ancient myths and legends, so there are stories of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses associated with flowers.

This book contains 45 images for you to colour, with a description beside each flower explaining its meaning and significance. Once you understand the language of flowers, you can experiment with them to show your loved ones know how you feel about them, and you can also ponder their meanings while doing some mindful colouring-in.
