From wisteria to chamomile to magnolias and more, this lavishly illustrated book invites you to discover over 50 incredible flowers, including beloved favorites such as roses and dahlias and lesser-celebrated but no less lovely varieties like milkweed and dandelions.

Organized into five sections—The Icons, The Blossoms, The Healers, The Wild Ones, and The Oddities—entries detail a range of facts, including a flower’s origin, etymology, and pollinators, as well as its pop culture and historical appearances, symbolism, potential uses in recipes and bouquets, and more! Browse these pages to gain insight into the meaning behind a second-date bouquet, learn about national and international flower-themed festivals, and deepen your connection to the natural world.

Learn to put blooms to good use, too. Crafting ideas and recipes are featured throughout, including:

How to make marigold dye or a southern magnolia wreath.

Weaving your favorite florals into recipes, remedies, and rituals, such as a relaxing Strawberry Chamomile Cocktail or a rejuvenating Lavender Sugar Scrub.

Crafting a dream pillow stuffed with milkweed floss to invite fairies into your dreams.
