This language was most commonly communicated through Tussie-Mussies, an art which has a following today. Check out the wikipedia language of flowers, there are some symbolic meanings of some common flowers! As for the book, maybe :Tussie-Mussies: The Language of Flowers by Geraldine Adamich Laufer or The Language of Flowers: Symbols And Myths by Marina Heilmeyer or this one sounds interesting: 100 Flowers and How They Got Their Names by Diana Wells I haven't read them, but try them out,maybe it is something you are looking for... I hope I helped:)<br><b>References : </b><br> The language of flowers, sometimes called floriography, was a Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken.
