The Language of Flowers is the debut novel of American author Vanessa Diffenbaugh. It was published in 2011 by Ballantine Books.[1] The novel follows the fraught life of a Victoria Jones, who by the age of 18, had lived in 32 foster homes, and becomes a flower arranger.[2]
The novel was inspired by a flower dictionary, a type of Victorian-era book which defines what different types of flowers mean.[3] Diffenbaugh also published a new non-fiction "A Victorian Flower Dictionary" to accompany the novel.[2] The novel was recommended for use in book clubs.[2]
