This subject came up on another forum in regard to roses and the meanings attached to them. I found several sites about the subject and thought I would post one for the fun of seeing what different flowers used to mean to people. http://www.pioneerthinking.com/flowerlanguage.html
When flowers did the talking
Interesting, ngam. I may plant Coriander next to Bachelor Button and see what happens...
That is interesting.
Victor you would wouldn't you?
LOL Victor, does not this battle go on every day all over the world? If you were a victorian what would be in your bouquet to your sweetheart?
Coriander, Dandelion, Grass, Hydrangea, Nasturtium, Peony and Sweet Pea.
LOL you seem to have a definite theme going here Victor.
Hee hee. Kidding, of course. You wonder who came up with all these symbols.
Well, you figure that the Victorians didn't have t.v., computers, or shopping malls. They had to do something with their time and minds!
oh That is hillarious...
Fun link, ngam, thanks!
Great link!
Thanks for sharing it. It was so cool to read all that this morning as I watch the snow slowly melt away.
I am going to plant a lot of orange roses... they mean nothing???
Lol Kassia, maybe there were not any orange roses then. A combo of red and yellow meaning then maybe. :)
