The Language of Flowers

North Haven, Maine

April challenge 2017 #7 "Book Cover"

A small old book, a special find given to me by a special friend.
First published in England in 1968.
Hand written and illustrated by 'Father' for 'Mother'.
The first page inscription goes:
"To Mother, Wishing you many happy returns of the day, from Father August 8, 1913"
"There is a language , little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
It's symbols smile upon the land, Wrought by Natures wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers. FWH"

Ohhhh Terry!
This is beyond beautiful! How romantic...
You are lucky in more than one way.
Very precious and no wonder you love flowers,
they talk to you...in your secret garden.
