"The Language of Flowers" By Vanessa Diffenbaugh

A very different read for me. I picked it for a book club read since it was recommended on a top books list. Everyone in the group that read it seemed to have a similar reaction. Many said it wasn't a book they would have picked up on their own, but they ended up liking it. I think it would be interesting to translate flowers that people give me, but I don't get flowers often and never from people that know the language of flowers. :) It would be fun to occasionally buy a bouquet because of its meaning.

I find it hard to know what quote to share from this book. I've chosen this one because it sort-of sums up the book in its own way:

"In that moment, we were the same, each of us destroyed by our limited understanding of reality." – Vanessa Diffenbaugh in "The Language of Flowers"

A few of the flower definition quotes...
