Today, flowers tend to be associated with an overall gesture, whether it is one of romance on Valentine's Day, filial love on Mother's Day, or a "get well soon" when someone is ill. Throughout the centuries however, flowers have been attributed far deeper significance, even going so far as to have their own "language", referred to as floriography.
Not only have flowers been deigned to have more symbolic meanings than the romantic or congratulatory tokens we associate them with in modern times, they can also express particular phrases and emotions.
It was the Victorians who used flowers as a form of language, when to speak one's emotions out loud would have been inappropriate. The flower could express a feeling, or a verbal communication. In this way, the Victorians could create a bouquet of flowers specifically to reveal an unspoken message to the recipient denoted through the colour, arrangement, and number of flowers.
To express your feelings to a loved one in unique and thoughtful way, see what message you can create with the language of flowers. After all, the rose is not the only flower of love, but nor do all flowers express pleasant sentiment.
. Moreover, the right flower in the wrong colour can express exactly the opposite of what you intended. So, say it with flowers, but be careful what it is you are actually saying.
