"I give you flowers", the Mother once told a sadhak, "so that you may develop the Divine qualities they symbolise". In this book more than eight hundred flowers are listed with their botanical names and their spiritual names and significances as revealed by the Mother. 124 black-and-white sketches and 70 colour photographs help to identify the flowers and reveal their beauty. There are also numerous selections from the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother which have been chosen to lead the reader to a deeper understanding of the spiritual significances behind the flowers.
