i love this book. so much. it is so lovely of about everything inside of it.
and as a woman, i have a high tendency toward flowers. this book help me to recognize different types of flowers and their meaning based on victorian language of flowers. how captivating and sensible right? these are some of the meanings for the usual flowers in malaysia.
bougainvillea - passion
cactus - ardent love
red carnation - my heart breaks
chrysanthemum - truth
daisy - cheerfulness
dahlia - dignity
fern - sincerity
fuchsia - humble love
hibiscus - delicate beauty
lavender - mistrust
lily - majesty
mistletoe - i surmount all obstacles
moss - maternal love
red rose - love
pomegranate - foolishness
periwinkle - tender recollections
sounds nutty right? but, it seems really nice.
victoria jones is a homeless orphan that kept moving in and out of foster family's houses. this book reveal her story towards finding her own self-esteem to face the world and not forget, love.
such a good book for a ready-to-overwhelm with flowers-mind. one of my favorite book ever.
