:: The Language of Flowers

The art of floriography enjoyed great popularity during the Victorian era, when it was used to create nosegays and tiny bouquets called tussiemussies. Part of the appeal was that it gave flowers, and their plant friends, a voice. But more than that, the use of this language was romantic and fun.
If for example, a woman wanted to thank her date for a loverly evening, she might send a mix of Canterbury bells (for gratitude), pink dianthus (lively and pure affection), and lemon balm (for social intercourse and fun). A groom might give his bride-to-be a combination of red roses (desire, love and passion), lavender (devotion), sweet peas (lasting pleasure), and ivy (fidelity and wedded love) to carry on their wedding day. It was a wonderful way to convey private messages eloquently - and all without saying a word.
