From orange blossom for innocence to yellow roses for infidelity, flowers have been used to convey messages for millennia. With Floriography you can use them to pass secret codes, uncover hidden feelings and be sure your gifts aren't getting lost in translation.

Plus, you'll know never to give a ranunculus to your mum or orchids to your boss! In addition to their meanings, these 50 illustrated cards explore the significance of flowers in history, pop culture and art. Now you truly can say it all with flowers!
