michaelmoonsbookshop:mcnerds:nybg:michaelmoonsbookshop:Routledge’s Miniature Library - Language of Flowers c1880Peach Blossom = I am your captive. Pine-Apple = You are Perfect. Pomegranate = FoolishnessMeasures 70mm x 97mmThere’s some great stuff in here. I never would have though that pine pitch would be included in a book about the language of flowers, but apparently you can tell someone you think they’re quite the deep thinker by presenting them with a blob of it. And boy oh boy, you better be really careful about which pinks you present your love with! And do be sure they’re either a true single or a true double. You could really mix your messages.
