Interesting read about the flower industry and the history of flower cultivation. I can't keep flowers in my house (because kittens), and I know less than nothing about them, so I wonder what kind of a read this would be for someone who is more knowledgeable. I'll never look at a flower in a grocery store the same way. This book was pubbed in '07; I wonder what a 2021 version would look like. 🤔

LiteraryinPA If you‘re looking for a fictional book to change your view on flowers, I just finished 4y
Brooke_H @LiteraryinLititz I have that one! I‘m excited to read it. Stewart does talk about the Victorian language of flowers in her book. 4y

Part One of my #bookhaul from the Wake County Public Library used book sale. 15 books for $25.

Graciouswarriorprincess @Birdsong28 I can‘t wait to read it. Amy zoomed with us for the Litsy Book Club and I met her in person last year on my birthday. 6y

Graciouswarriorprincess @Birdsong28 I had checked this out at the library and was surprised that no one bought it at the sale! Now, it‘s mine and library copy returned. 👍🏻😃 6y

Birdsong28 @Graciouswarriorprincess That is so good when you can do that. I once bought a library book that I had previously took out as it was on sale and when I had before I only used it to study with so I only read the chapters that I needed so now I can read the whole thing. 😁📚📖 6y

My first Amy Stewart book was Flower Confidential. I'm a hardcore non-fiction reader+I love anything that gives me an in depth, behind the scenes look at an industry. I'll never look at a flower store or bouquet with complete innocence again and I'm delighted to say that about this marvelous book!
