most magnificent
creations nurtures and
brings value into our
own lives.
Author Gayle Christie
shares stories and
inspirational messages
of the excitement,
romance, and comfort
that flowers have
brought to others.

send? What color? |

Why send Red Roses: A
Guide To Floral Etiquette
is illustrated with original
watercolors, and gives the
do’s and don’ts of flower
sending. It details which
flower and color to send for
what occasion. Also, the book
includes an index of flower
meanings, the flower for every
month and state, and
international color protocol.
Why send Red Roses: A Guide
To Floral Etiquette
is based on traditions that
began with Greek and Roman
myths and continued with the
early Chinese, Assyrians,
Egyptians, and Native
Americans. English floral
symbols date back to the reign
of Elizabeth I (1533-1603),
but it was the Turks who, in
the late 17th century, really
developed the practice of
communicating with flowers. |

perfect flower to say
"Thank You?" (see pg.

- Do your
personality traits
reflect your favorite
flower color? (see pg.

- How do you propose
marriage at 30,000
feet? (see pg. 24)
- Why do Japanese
avoid wearing purple
at weddings? (see pg.

you send for a new

Whether you select white
tulips to say “I’m
sorry,” yellow
carnations for a sick
friend, or red roses for
an intense romance,
you’ll be able to say
what you mean with the
beautiful language of
flowers. |
