A delightful weave of story, music and song that brings to life the dramatic myths that surround favorite garden flowers.

Diane will be streaming a beautifully recorded version of the Language of Flowers in an exclusive event for Howland Public Library in New York this May! The video will be housed for the library at a private link for patrons who missed that particular event until May 31st.

About “The Language of Flowers” This delightful weave of story, music and song brings alive the dramatic myths that surround our favorite garden flowers. A master storyteller, Diane entertains and enchants transforming into the characters in her tales bringing each story to vibrant life. The centerpiece of the performance is the Persian legend of The Nightingale and Rose. Diane’s original adaptation follows this exotic love story through the ages weaving together myths from many cultures that speak of the rose and its origins. Flower tales from many lands include that of the lamentable Narcissus flower and the Ojibway Native American story about the Dandelion. The performance is completed by elegant harp accompaniment by Margot Chamberlain, songs, Celtic harp interludes and entertaining pieces about the mysterious “Language of Flowers,” celebrated in Victorian times. Celebrate flowers and the stories that have been told about them through the ages with this enchanting performance.

This event is FREE and Open to the public.
