Hardcover German-language book entitled «Delicate Floral Ideas» with the subtitle «The Romantic Language of Flowers». 
Delicate Floral Ideas is a charming breviary for highly personal floral greetings. Accompanied by the words of famous poets and romantic photographs, the appealing old tradition of the »language of flowers« is brought to life anew.

In her book, Catherine Lee builds on this tradition and has compiled many meanings that have been attributed to individual flowers and plants over the centuries: lilies of the valley, for example, are said to bring joy, delicate purple lilacs are a sign of budding love, while orchids represent exquisite beauty.
Whether as a sign of appreciation, friendship or love, for comfort, a birthday or as a thank-you: arranged in thematic groups, the suggestions can be used to create sensitive bouquets tailored individually to the occasion and the recipient of the floral greeting. This guide is accompanied poetically by romantic photographs, poetry and quotations from great poets.
