Floriography is the ‘language of flowers’. Dating back to the Victorian times floriography was used as a means of coded communication through various flowers and floral arrangements, allowing people to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken.
How do I know my flower language?
- White rose: purity, innocence, reverence, a new beginning, a fresh start.
- Red rose: love, I love you.
- Deep, dark crimson rose: mourning.
- Pink rose: grace, happiness, gentleness.
- Yellow rose: jealousy, infidelity.
- Orange rose: desire and enthusiasm.
- Lavender rose: love at first sight.
What do the flowers symbolize?
From new life to death, from purity to passion, flowers have had many meanings in myths and legends. Swelling from tender bud to full bloom, flowers are associated with youth, beauty, and pleasure. But as they wilt and die, flowers represent fragility and the swift passage from life into death.
