Personally, one of my favorite books. In Bloom is filled with beautiful photographs of flowers grown by the author. She describes the steps of choosing flowers and greenery, seedling care and finally putting it all together in a spectacular, yet simple design.

The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey messages and emotional expressions. This book tells a story about a young woman who grew up in the foster system and was unable to get close to anyone. Her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings - choosing specific flowers to help others. But after meeting a mysterious stranger, she begins to question her life and if she should risk a chance at happiness.
