the Victorian Language of Flowers

The Victorian Language of Flowers is a historical system where different flowers and their arrangements conveyed specific meanings and messages without words. During the 19th century in England, people used flowers to express feelings, sentiments, or intentions that might have been difficult to communicate directly. For example, a red rose symbolized love, while a yellow rose could mean friendship or jealousy. This subtle form of communication allowed individuals to send nuanced messages through floral choices, making it a romantic and poetic way to connect and express emotions discreetly.
