THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
The meanings of flowers have have come from many many legends throughout throughout history. history. The time when these these meanings were actually actually put to use use the most was in in Victorian Victorian England (during the reign of Queen Victoria). The exchange of flowers gave a way for lovers to communicate without the knowledge of chaperones. The way the flowers were worn or presented, the color of the flower, and of course the flower itself all had to do with the particular message that was trying to be conveyed. If the flowers were resented upright, they had a positive meaning. However, if they were presented upside down, their meaning was the opposite. If the ribbon was tied to the left, the meaning referred to the giver; the right referred to the recipient. Flowers were used to answer questions also. If they were handed over with the right hand, the answer was "yes"; with the left hand, "no". Here is an example I found in Garden Flower Folklore by Laura C. Martin. "If a boy sent a girl a rosebud with the leaves and thorns still on it, it meant "I fear, but hope". If the rosebud was returned upside down, it meant, "You must neither fear nor hope". If the rosebud was returned with the thorns removed, the message was "you have everything to hope for". If the thorns were left but the leaves removed, the message was "you have everything to fear". If the young lady kept the rosebud and placed it in her hair, it meant "caution". If she placed it over her heart, the message was clearly "love".
