The older I get...the more I enjoy flowers.
They add so much more to life than without.
Giving flowers has been a long tradition.
Any idea how that started or where it began?
The language of flowers, Floriography, came in handy.
In mid-1700s, the signifigance increased when the French and English,
while visiting Turkey,
while visiting Turkey,
discovered an entire language of flowers which gave meaning to different flower types.
From this the Victorian culture created a meaning for every characteristic of a flower.
Victorians living in an era when people did not believe in expressing emotions,
found the language of flowers to be an acceptable form of expressions.
RED conveys passion and love.
PINK (perfect for any occasion) signifies grace and happiness.
ORANGE demonstrates excitement and enthusiasm.
YELLOW represents friendship and joy.
PURPLE shows pride and joy.
WHITE is for purity and innocence.
BLACK is for obsession.
GREEN for good luck, showing stability and harmony.
BLUE flowers represent confidence and security.
Birth months as well:
