For many people, buying flowers can be just one way of saying
‘thank you’, ‘I’m sorry’ or even ‘I love you’. The sentiments meant with each
bouquet or display of flowers bought can be heartfelt and genuine but there is
actually a historical and authentic language of flowers.
Although the language of flowers was popularized in the nineteenth century the history of floral denotations is more ancient and widespread across many countries and continents. During the Victorian period, sentimentality became popular and using flowers to show feelings and sentiments was widespread. Throughout this time, many people would understand the language of flowers and would recognize the significance of blooms which were received. Flowers can also be used to symbolize astrological signs and have been used in ancient methodology.
Although during more modern times, many flower meanings have been lost, there are still certain flowers that still evoke feelings and emotions. For instance, although it is generally well known that roses and rose buds mean romantic and amorous love and therefore are often sent to lovers or spouses especially during Valentine’s Day, other flowers also have a variety of meanings and values.
Carnations can also denote a term of affection and are often used as wedding button holes and church decorations. Lavender can also be used as a term of love and loyalty though not always romantic love.
