书籍简介

揭示花瓣中蕴含的秘密信息。花语--花的语言--是一门古老的艺术，它通过植物的种类、颜色和排列来编码隐藏的信息，使人们能够表达他们可能无法用语言表达的情感和情绪。这本图文并茂的礼品书收录了世界各地 100 种受欢迎的花卉，介绍了每种植物的植物学名称、其在民间传说中的意义和地位，以及寓意背后的故事。

书中还揭示了几个世纪以来文学和艺术中如何使用花卉的象征意义，从哈姆雷特笔下的奥菲利亚分发迷迭香 "以作纪念 "和三色堇 "以作思念"。鲜花所蕴含的秘密含义，当代的观众也能很好地理解--今天，我们看到了这种做法的复兴。从含羞草（含羞草的叶子一碰就会合拢，象征着贞洁）到不同颜色的天竺葵所蕴含的各种信息，花艺提供了一种富有创意的表达情感的方式，可以为鲜花礼物增添额外的美感和意义。

凯特-米德尔顿婚礼花束中的鲜花象征着爱情、幸福、英勇和忠诚。如果有人送你一束绣球花和小叶女贞，那就要小心了：它们代表着无情和恶意。

Revealing a world of secret messages contained within a single petal. Floriography - the language of flowers - is the ancient art of encoding hidden messages in the type, colour and arrangement of plants, allowing individuals to express emotions and sentiments that they may not be able to articulate through words. Featuring 100 of the most popular and available blooms from around the world, this beautifully illustrated gift book gives the botanical name for each plant, a description of its significance and place in folklore, and the story behind its meaning.

It also reveals how floral symbolism has been used over the centuries in literature and art, from Hamlet's Ophelia handing out rosemary 'for remembrance' and pansies 'for thoughts'. The idea that flowers have secret meanings would have been well understood by contemporary audiences - and we are seeing a revival of the practice today. From mimosa - which signifies chastity because its leaves close when touched - to the varied messages encoded within different colours of geraniums, Floriography offers a creative way to convey feelings and can add an extra layer of beauty and significance to a gift of flowers.

The flowers in Kate Middleton's wedding bouquet signified love, happiness, gallantry and fidelity. If someone sends you a bouquet of hydrangea and lobelia, beware: they stand for heartlessness and malevolence.
