The Victorian language of flowers on the meaning of flowers on handkerchiefs
The Victorian language of flowers
Did you know you can give your feelings to someone without saying a word? This is, of course, if they speak the language of flowers. Everyone loves beautiful flowers and appears in ancient times had a special symbolism. In the Song of Solomon book in the Bible, is the loved one who is calling a Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys. Writers and poets often use flowers in their writings. The language of flowers became especially important in the romantic Victorian era.
