The Historic Roots of Floriography
The practice of assigning meanings to flowers, known as floriography, gained significant popularity in the Victorian era. During a time when expressing emotions openly was often frowned upon, flowers became a sophisticated and discreet means of communication. A carefully chosen bouquet could convey admiration, sorrow, joy, or even a secret declaration of love without a single word being spoken. While some meanings have evolved over time, the core sentiments often remain.
