The language of flowers
Flowers have a meaning of their own. Most of us know that a dozen red roses means, "Be mine." But did you know, for
example, that a primrose means, "I can’t live without you," or that a purple hyacinth means,
"Please forgive me”.
The History of flowers
The Turks in the 17th century seemed to develop flower meanings. In 1718 the wife of the British ambassador , Lady Mary , wrote a letter expounding on the "Secret Language of Flowers" that she had discovered during her visits to Turkey. Europe quickly picked up on the concept.In 1819 Louise wrote and published what seems to have been the first dictionary of the flower language entitled, It was a small book, but i
t became a popular reference on the subject.
from 1837 to 1901, the meaning and language of flowers became increasingly popular. Victorian
women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings
In 1884 a whole book on the subject and entitled, The Language of Flowers was
published in London. It became popular and respected and has been the standard source
for Victorian flower meaning ever since.
