Catherine Lee Bücher

Kleine feine Blumenideen ist ein zauberhaftes Brevier für ganz persönliche Blumengrüße. Begleitet von den Worten berühmter Dichter und romantischen Fotos wird die reizvolle alte Tradition der 'Blumensprache' neu belebt. Catherine Lee knüpft in ihrem Buch an diese Tradition an und hat viele Bedeutungen zusammengetragen, die einzelnen Blumen und Pflanzen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zugeschrieben wurden: Maiglöckchen zum Beispiel sollen Freude bringen, zartlila Flieder ist ein Zeichen aufkeimender Liebe, während Orchideen für exquisite Schönheit stehen. Ob als Zeichen der Anerkennung, Freundschaft oder Liebe, ob zum Trost, zum Geburtstag oder als Dankeschön: In Themengruppen geordnet, können anhand der Anregungen feinsinnige Sträuße zusammengestellt werden, die ganz individuell auf Anlaß und Empfänger des Blumengrußes abgestimmt sind. Poetisch begleitet wird dieser Leitfaden von zauberhaften Fotografien und von Lyrik und Zitaten großer Dichter.
