When flowers did the talking

Southeast, MA(Zone 6b)

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
