If a bouquet of flowers arrives at our door, we’re more interested in who sent them. The Victorians were more concerned with what it meant.
The Victorian language of flowers, also known as floriography, was a way to send messages using specific plants and flowers. Combining different flowers allowed them to send more complex or sophisticated messages.
Let's explore where the language of flowers came from, how it developed, and how you can use it in the 21st century in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
