Do you speak flower?

Did you know that flowers actually have a language? Of course, flowers don't speak. But, the language of flowers is an ancient way of using  communication with someone using only an arrangement of flowers. This flower language actually became very popular during the Victorian age when many types of romantic communication were socially restricted or even forbidden. Most romantic happenings had to have the approval of the King. So people learned to express their love through a complex system of flower arrangement.

One of the most well known "words" in this flower language is the rose which, of course, represents the emotion of love. However, the nuance of this symbol of love can change, depending on what color of rose is sent. The red rose represents passionate love, while the white rose represents a chaste or pure love. In between these two extremes is the pink rose which symbolizes a lesser love and a yellow rose which represents friendship. So many shades of love can be communicated by just one flower that, when you add in all the other types of flowers, the combinations, and messages, are endless.

This Valentine's Day, get some help from you local florist and tell that special someone that you love them in the most romantic language of all - the language of flowers.
