Book Reviews of Language of Flowers (From Stencils and Notepaper to Flowers and Napkin Folding)

Book Review: Favorite Flower Reference
Summary: 4 Stars

Greenaway was famous for her fanciful, humorous, delicately colored drawings of child life. This little book was originally written in 1885, and it lists over 200 plants and their meaning in alphabetical order with 85 illustrations as well as some poems in the back of the book.

The only problem I have with this book is that the printing is very small.
