What’s your favorite flower?
I’ve loved roses since I was a little girl and I remember when I was four years old, my mother and I went to buy rose bush to put at the side of the house.
Last week I received a lovely surprise in the mail from Kaye Publicity. By Any Other Name by, Simon Morley is non-fiction that chronicles the culture history of the rose. I don’t think any one can deny how prevalent roses are in society, from teas, fragrances, patterns on clothing, references in literature, famous pieces of art and even on the runway. It’s also the flower people turn to to experience love.
In honor of #thegreatrosehunt, I paired book with my Sandalwood Rose candle, my yellow rose tea cup filled with chamomile rose tea.
I’m looking forward to diving in to this read - I think this will be one I read slowly, small chunks at a time. For some reason, this just feels appropriate to savor a book about my favorite flower.
What non-fiction reads will you being diving into?
