The Language of Flowers

The Language of Flowers, or "floriography," is a symbolic way of communicating emotions and messages through flowers. Each flower carries specific meanings; for example, red roses signify love, while lilies can represent purity. This practice gained popularity in the Victorian era when direct expression of feelings was often discouraged, allowing people to convey sentiments discreetly. By carefully choosing flowers, individuals could express admiration, friendship, or sorrow. Today, while the tradition isn’t as commonly practiced, many still enjoy using flowers to convey sentiments during occasions like weddings, funerals, and celebrations.
