The "Secret Language of Flowers"

Assorted Petite Roses

Flowers have a meaning of their own, a "secret" language that has been used to convey ideas, feelings and messages for centuries. There is a meaning to flowers, their colors and to their numbers.

The "Secret Language of Flowers" originated in Turkey in the 17th century and blossomed during the Victorian era where lovers and rivals used this language to send messages to each other.

The rose, was sacred to Dionysus, the Greek god of revelry, but also to Venus, the Roman goddess of love. In ancient times, the rose was a symbol of joy; later, a symbol of secrecy and silence; while today, the rose is most often associated with love and romance.

By using this "secret language" you could convey any message you want, for example, to wish happiness and prosperity to someone you love for example, consider the tiger lily, when you like to say "you look radiant" then a ranunculus will be perfect, to wish joy calendula or gardenia will be just right.
