🌸 The Language of Flowers: Saying More Than Words
Long before emojis and text messages, people used flowers to express what words could not. Known as floriography, the language of flowers dates back centuries and was especially popular in the Victorian era, when certain blooms carried secret meanings.
A red rose spoke of passionate love, while a white lily symbolised purity. Daisies conveyed innocence and new beginnings, and forget-me-nots were a quiet plea to be remembered. Even the way a bouquet was presented—upright for affirmation, upside down for rejection—added subtle layers of meaning.
Today, this poetic tradition lives on. Whether you're sending sunflowers to brighten someone’s day or lavender for calm, flowers still speak volumes—if you know how to listen.
