Well over a thousand plants have been dedicated to Our Lady reflecting not only her virtues but also aspects of her life and her mothering of our Lord
This little book combines the history and traditions of twenty of the best-known Marian-flowers with the twenty mysteries of the rosary. Beautifully illustrated with the author's sketches, it provides rich insights into the symbolism of such flowers and plants as the Madonna Lily, Rose, Olive and Basil, relating each to a different mystery. The meditations will encourage all to ponder anew Mary’s special qualities, which always point us to Christ.
The author also includes a wealth of tips on the practicalities of growing Marian flowers and what to include in a Mary garden, should the reader feel tempted to create one.
