I have already made three of your flowers though and start the beautiful leaves today!<br />The book shown is a translation from English "The Language of Flowers" by Sheila Pickles. Inside the book, each page is beautifully illustrated with reproductions of coloured paintings and poems or legends. When I first received the book, the pages were slightly perfumed.
