Title: The language of flowers: a novel
Author: Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Date: July 11, 2023
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. This novel beautifully weaves past and present, creating a vivid portrait of an unforgettable woman whose gift for flowers helps her change the lives of others even as she struggles to overcome her own troubled past.
