Ranging through the centuries and across the globe, Kasia Boddy looks at the wealth of floral associations that has been passed down in perfumes, poems, and paintings; in the design of buildings, clothes, and jewelry; in songs, TV shows, and children?s names; and in nearly every religious, social, and political ritual. Exploring the first daffodils of spring and the last chrysanthemums of autumn, this is also a book about seasons. In vibrant detail and drawing on a rich array of illustrations, Boddy considers how the sunflower, poppy, rose, lily?and many others?have given rise to meaning, value, and inspiration throughout history, and why they are integral to so many different cultures. 606 $aFlowers$xHistory 608 $aFolklore.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aFlowers$xHistory. 676 $a582.1309 700 $aBoddy$b Kasia, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01204919 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817719703321 996 $aBlooming Flowers$93994372 997 $aUNINA
