It’s pretty clear we love flowers. We love the beauty and whimsy they exude, and the joy that they bring. And if a bountiful bouquet isn’t breathtaking enough, the language of these little wonders is even more precious.

​

The symbolism of flowers has been recorded for centuries in folklore, poetry, and theatre across the world. Known as floriography, this interest in botanical symbolism blossomed during the Victorian era, where enthusiasts used floral arrangements as a means of communication to express their heartfelt sentiment.

​
