The Secret Language of Flowers
Whisper sweet nothings without saying a word.
Have you ever heard a sunflower speak? A carnation chatter? A tulip talk?
There may not be such a thing as a talking flower, but they
communicate all the same. In fact, they've been used for centuries by
lovers who wished to send messages to their sweethearts.
In
the Victorian era, lovers exchanged flowers to express risqué or raw
feelings that were not considered proper to talk about in social
settings.
Flowers really are the language of
the love. Their sweet aromas, delicate petals and vibrant colors make
them an easy way to express love and adoration.
While
many flowers carry a traditional message, such as red roses conveying
the message of "I love you," you don't have to follow standard customs
when you present a bouquet to your beloved. Next time you're giving
flowers, consider what they're saying, or be spontaneous and make up
your own meaning by attaching a card or poem.
