From time immemorial, people have sought to understand the mysteries of the natural world, giving rise to a wealth of myths and legends connected to plant life. In addition to their imaginative appeal, these oral traditions offered practical advice about which flowers, trees, and plants could provide foods, remedies, and construction materials. This richly illustrated volume provides a treasury of ancient wisdom, exploring the sound principles behind traditional advice, along with a wealth of fanciful beliefs.Naturalist Ruth Binney recounts charming examples of floral symbolism, linking roses with romance, lilies with purity, and poppies with sleep. She examines tree lore and the association of trees with wisdom and knowledge, from the coveted crown of laurel awarded to ancient Greek poets and Roman generals to the palm branches presented to pilgrims returning from the Holy Land. A survey of the power of plants ranges from the rituals that ensure a good harvest and a newly married couple's fertility to the healing qualities of oil of cloves for toothache, cherries for gout, and aloe vera for burns. Abounding in fascinating facts and fancies, this absorbing compilation will captivate lovers of plants and gardens.

Not true to size
Size: 8, Color: (100) White/Pomegranate/Rush Red
The shoes are beautiful, same as the picture. Super comfortable and very lightweight, but wait to big, I’m a size 8 and bought a size 8 as usual, I never had any problem with the UA shoes before, this shoes are about 2 inches bigger on my feet. I will return them and order probably a size 6 & 7 to see which one fit better. That’s the only reason I’m not giving a 5 starts!!!!

Great fit, support and quality
Size: 6.5, Color: (101) White/White/Metallic Silver
I bought as a gift for my wife, she loves everything about them, the fit, support, and quality. These are to replace a pair of Under Armor shoes that served her well and lasted a long time.

Not a fashion statement, but the best for my feet
I’ve had these for a year & alternate between these & a pair of Nikes & they’re still in great shape. I tried just about every brand in my hunt for walking/light jogging sneakers, and for me, these were by far the most comfortable, even over $160 New Balances & expensive Diadora & ASICS…Adidas Ultraboost etc. Every foot is different - for me, different shoes press against the inner foot bone uncomfortably, and there’s no issue with that here. The sole is thick & cushiony which I find supportive, and my feet don’t feel overly compressed. There is a nice little bounce which each step. True to size. I’d recommend.

Amazing walking sneakers
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White
Excellent purchase. The size was absolutely correct; they fit my feet perfectly without needing to order a different size. They're also incredibly comfortable from the first wear, ideal for everyday use as well as long walks. The quality feels very good, and the design is exactly as pictured. I would definitely buy them again.
