So what is Floriography?
The Victorian language of flowers
Floriography is a fancy name for the language of flowers and is most commonly linked with the Victorian era. It was during the reign of Queen Victoria that flowers were used to communicate feelings that the strict etiquette of the era would not allow to be openly expressed. Some cheeky flirting was going on, basically!
Flowers were sent in the form of small bouquets, known as tussie-mussies or nosegays. They usually featured fragrant herbs and a single, meaningful flower wrapped in a lace doily.Suitors presented tussie-mussies to someone who took their fancy and watched to see if they were accepted
So what about the present day?
When you need to send someone a message, flowers are the perfect way to communicate. Flowers have been used to let others know exactly how you feel for hundreds of years, even if you don’t say it with spoken or written words.
