✦ What this is
A reference guide for writers who want flowers on the page to do real work. Half rare-word lexicon, half decoded flower language, built for drafting scenes rather than for botany exams.

This printable floriography guide and rare-word flower lexicon gives fiction writers Victorian flower language meanings, botanical vocabulary, and season tables for novels, short stories, and poetry.

✦ Inside
→ Lexicon entries with plain-English glosses and pronunciation
→ Traditional meanings with the century and source they come from
→ Contradictions between sources, kept rather than smoothed over
→ Season and habitat tables so your blooms match your setting
→ Cipher Index: start from an emotion, find the flower
→ Wrong and Right example pairs drawn from one running scenario
→ Craft Notes on how each word behaves in a sentence

✦ Format
Instant download. Printable PDF pages, formatted for clean home printing and for annotating by hand. Works well on tablets in GoodNotes for readers who prefer to keep notes digitally.

✦ Good to know
Digital product, so no physical item ships and all sales are final. Written in American English. For personal writing use; please do not redistribute or resell the file.

Write the flower your character actually noticed.
