The Floral Birthday Book by Bernard F. Carter is a classic book that combines the beauty of flowers with the significance of birthdays. It is a charming keepsake that links specific flowers to each day of the year, often accompanied by poetic excerpts or symbolic meanings. Each day of the year is assigned a specific flower. This concept aligns with the Victorian tradition of the language of flowers, where various blooms carry unique meanings. With its decorative and romantic style, the book is often gifted as a sentimental item, appealing to those who appreciate nature, poetry, and traditional aesthetics.
