| Do you realize that any flower speaks its own language? Nowadays people do not commonly think about it, they just pick out the most beautiful flower or even the most expensive one – it seems to be enough to show how particular the person you are presenting flowers to is for you. But in actual fact there is a particular harmony between the outward appearance of the flower and what it says about the feelings of the giver. In the Victorian epoch flowers were generally used as a secret means of communication. Flower language was invented by Turks, that's why sending a flower message to the one you like to show your emotions was known as a “Persian Salaam”. This method of communication had great popularity in the eighteenth century. At that time bunches of flowers were arranged very carefully and in exact conformity with the language of flowers. It is obvious that all flowers mean attention and care, but nevertheless every flower with its color and each flower arrangement have their own shades. For instance, red roses have meant love since the earliest times, but as regards yellow ones they stand for jealousy. So you understand that it's useful to obtain basic knowledge of flowers language to express your emotions correctly. You may be amazed to learn that there is a special branch of science that is dedicated to the examination of flowers meaning. It is called floriography and its major objective is to explain the underlying meaning of flowers and flower compositions to senders and receivers. Sometimes it is difficult to find appropriate words to express what you feel, so it is time to do it with flowers. I would like to explain the meaning of a number of widespread flowers: aloe stands for grief, aster refers to daintiness, begonia – beware, calendula means joy, carnation signifies health, energy and affection, daisy signifies innocence, loyal love, lily stands for purity, orchid stands for beauty and love and tulip stands for declaration of love. This is just a surface overview of flower language. And the meaning of each flower is much deeper that we may put into words. It is rather hard to explain their meaning, you have to get inner understanding. In case you're interested to learn more about flowers, you may read special literature, and you'll soon reach an understanding with these amazing plants. |
