Insights
Jane Austen’s writing is full of descriptions of flowers and their symbolism. This beautiful trio of flowers, also popular in Victorian gardens, are all mentioned in her letters. Cornflower, with its electric blue petals, is an integral part of the British cottage garden. Sweet William, adds vibrant colour and graced the shrubbery border of the Austen garden at Chawton. Mignonette bears small, sweet scented flowers; Austen wrote to her sister Cassandra about its progress in their garden.
