Mary Porter Kerns
The love story between flowers and humans is millions of years old. Over millennia of ecological changes and challenges, flowers have inspired us, comforted us, and taught us some of our most profound lessons about freedom and desire, beauty and belonging.
Naturalist Mary Porter Kerns has spent a lifetime seeking out the guidance of the flowers in her beloved Appalachian Mountains and teaching others to do the same. In her intimate exploration of the floral world, you’ll find:
- The history and cultural significance of all kinds of flowers, from the prehistoric magnolia to the five-petal wild rose
- The mind-bending science of plant intelligence, communication, and sentience
- Simple tips for reconnecting with nature and receiving the lessons of the flowers through journaling, meditation, and creative exercises
Whether you’re a nature lover, a spiritual seeker, or simply looking for ways to be more present to the beauty all around us, The Flowers Are Speaking invites you to build deep reverence for our beloved Earth—an urgent necessity for us as individuals and as a species, today and in the future.

“Grounded in natural science yet brimming with mystical wisdom, The Flowers Are Speaking is a field guide to our own hearts. Blossom by blossom, Kerns travels through the seasons revealing how flowers have, over the ages, guided human beings into profound experiences of intimacy, belonging, and love—and can help us return to a more collaborative and generative relationship with the earth. Informative and intimate, earthy and prophetic, this book gives us back a world we may have forgotten but have never lost.”
—Perdita Finn, author of Take Back the Magic and Mothers of Magic, co-author of The Way of the Rose
“Why do humans find joy in air-suspended dandelion seeds and solace in the fragrant embrace of peony bouquets? In The Flowers Are Speaking, Mary Porter Kerns explores this kind of emotional flower power. She introduces readers to diverse species through personal stories, cultural history, and practical exercises to help them connect with flowers as guides to a more fully realized life.”
—Leigh Ann Henion, New York Times bestselling author of Night Magic
“The Flowers Are Speaking feels like drinking a magnificent sparkling floral tonic on a sunny summer day. Each chapter blends science, history, and Mary’s intimate relationship with twenty-two domesticated and wild flowers. You’ll never see magnolia, sunflowers, or bleeding hearts in the same way again. Come, drink deeply of this sweet medicinal brew that returns us to a joyful partnership with nature and brings much needed messages and teachings of some of our oldest kin, the flowers.”
—HeatherAsh Amara, author of Wild, Willing, and Wise and Warrior Goddess Training
“A luscious and generous invitation into an evolutionary love story, kindling a sense of magic that is simultaneously scientific and deeply poetic. This book is a bouquet that includes rigorous research with the roots still dangling as well as dazzling prose that seduces us back into interspecies dialogue with our vegetal allies.”
—Sophie Strand, author of The Body Is a Doorway, The Madonna Secret, and The Flowering Wand
“Beautiful, evocative, and moving, Mary Porter Kerns’s writing is truly a love song to the natural world, and a heartfelt prayer that we learn to see it anew. Let her open your eyes to the flowers that have interwoven with our lives since the very beginning, through an intoxicating intermingling of memoir, natural history, evolutionary biology and spiritual insight. The flowers are speaking, she reminds us. The question is: Are you listening?”
