About this item
Flowers for when you love them . . . not.. The ultimate guide to finding new and fragrant ways to channel your frustrations and fuel your revenge fantasies with some common (and not-so-common) vengeful plants, as well as suggested bouquets to blight your nemeses.. Is there anything more savage than an archly composed bouquet? The Victorians didn't think so, which is why their flower symbols weren't just endearing - they were also cheeky, rude, and downright hostile. This illustrated floriography will help you choose the perfect Floral Estrangement for your situation, such as: The "Maybe You Shouldn't Have Given Me Your Phone Password" (Yellow Chrysanthemum, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Basil, Yellow Rose, Tansy) The "Still Thinking about the $1K I Spent to Be a Bridesmaid at Your Destination Wedding" (Black-Eyed Susan, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Delphinium, Orange Lily) The "His Mommy Issues Are Now Your Problem" (Withered White Rose, Pine, Delphinium) With incredible, subtly hostile illustrations of flowers throughout, this is a sumptuous, decadent, guilty pleasure of a gift or self-purchase.
