Each Botanical Inspirations card features a thoughtful quotation that alludes to the symbolism of the flower. The accompanying guidebook presents inspirational affirmations and narrative vignettes culled from history, mythology, lore, and legend. From the demure violet to the noble magnolia, all flowers have stories to tell and lessons to share. This charming gift set includes 44 cards with quotations and flower meanings, a 100-page illustrated guidebook with messages of insight and inspiration, a Fold-out guide to the Secret Language of Flowers, and a drawstring organza pouch.
