Flowers will be blooming and markets everywhere will be selling all kinds of arrangements for Mother&#8217;s Day. However, before you pick a flower based on its looks, wouldn&#8217;t it be cool to know what that flower represents? Enter Loves Me, Loves Me Not: The Hidden Language of Flowersby Peter Loewer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/loves-me-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13345\" \/>If you read <a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/?p=12949\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">my review of the Botanical Inspirationsdeck<\/a> then you already know that global culture and folklore has always attributed special meanings for flowers based on their appearance or practical applications. Peter Loewer specifically takes a look at the Victorian era and their love of the language of flowers. Loves Me, Loves Me Notprofiles 50 flowers and better yet each entry is paired with a beautiful, full color illustration by Loewer.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this book is great for nature and flower lovers. Now I don&#8217;t want to tell you how to live your life, but if I was considering getting flowers for someone as a gift, I would absolutely buy this book, pick the flowers based on their meanings, and then give the flowers AND this book as a gift. But you know, you do you. Loves Me, Loves Me Notis a delightful and informative read that is made for sharing!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/skyhorsepublishing.com\/titles\/13152-9781510727830-loves-me-loves-me-not\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">You can learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumor has it spring is coming, and with it, flowers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
