Blooming Flowers: A Seasonal History of Plants and People by Kasia Boddy
3.0
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.
This book is fascinating, it is interesting to think about what flowers mean in human culture. This book touches on all possible topics: sociology, culture, art, medicine, etc.
Flowers accompany us at funerals, but also to celebrate life. They appear in the most beautiful fields and also among the crevices of large cities.
There are flowers for lovers, for friends, family, children, grandparents; we use flowers to wish (he loves me, he loves me not). It is an element full of meanings. I loved reading about all these reflections, I really enjoyed it.
