Flowers Symbolism in The Victorian Era.

During the 1800s, learning about the specific symbolism of flowers became a popular activity. Along with the Bible, nearly every Victorian home possessed a reference for understanding the “language,” albeit meanings varied depending on the source.

Flowers were largely employed to send sentiments that couldn’t be said aloud, according to Victorian etiquette. Flowers could be used to answer “yes” or “no” questions in a silent discourse. A “yes” response was given in the shape of flowers given with the right hand; a “no” response was given with the left hand.

It mattered how the flowers were presented and in what condition they were in. If the flowers were delivered sideways, the message conveyed was the polar opposite of what was meant historically. The way the ribbon was tied also stated something: The flowers’ symbolism applied to the giver when tied to the left, and the sentiment applied to the recipient when tied to the right. And, of course, a wilted bouquet sent an unmistakeable message!

Bluebells and kindness, peonies and shyness, rosemary and remembrance, and tulips and passion are just a few examples of plants and their human attributes throughout the

Victorian era. Flowers’ meanings and customs have evolved over time, and different societies attribute different meanings to the same species, but the fascination with “scented words” has remained constant.

Very well, but what about the meanings nowadays? And not only in a specific Era’s.
