★★★★★
I absolutely LOVED this book. It has jumped to the top of my favorite books read list. It is both gorgeous and really interesting. Not only are there beautiful illustrations of each flower but also included are the meaning and origin of each flower and suggestions for other flowers to pair with them. It is well-researched and really nicely done.
Hands down, my favorite part of this book is the addition of poisonous flowers. I am fascinated with poisonous flowers, so when I came across Belladonna, Foxglove, and Hemlock, I squealed with delight.
Although I was given an eARC from Netgalley to offer my honest review, I will be buying my own hard copy for my bookshelf.
