THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
One of the most interesting things about flowers is they are used to express a message from the giver. In 1800s mastering the meanings behind flowers became a popular pastime.
Floriography is the term used to refer to the flower language in the Victorian era. It was when people started giving specific meaning to flowers with reference to its name, color, and characteristics, and use them to send a message which they considered confidential or rather too bold to be told aloud at the time. Flowers then were also considered as a fundamental element in interior designs of homes.
