A special excitement comes with unveiling the Language of Flowers Edition, and a sense of accomplishment in publishing the summer issue while the season is still in full bloom.

This issue of the Acta features a fabulous new design by ApilIshtar, with easy drop-down navigation, and a virtual garden of engrossing articles on floriography, flora and the Victorian era in the Commentary, Journal and Archives sections, as well as AW news and archaeology updates, a travel piece, a floral trivia game to play and a Sherlock Holmes mystery to solve.

To match the ever-changing pace of AW, the Acta Diurna is now an annual publication. As it stands, we plan on publishing one special issue a year, Spring or Autumn. The next issue will be published in Novemeber 2015.

Don your thinking caps, raise your mallets, wax your tablets, ink your brushes and sharpen your quills. While Novemeber is still several months away, the hour glass has turned and the sands of time are slowly trickling away. The Acta needs news, reviews, features, announcements of coming attractions and more.

If you have a submission, or an idea for an article, please leave a scroll for ActaDiurna Scriptor.

Stay tuned for more developments in the news!
