For many centuries, the language of flowers has held significance across the world. Flower and plant symbolism can even be found woven into the mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of ancient Greeks! By the 1800s, discovering the unique symbolism of flowers was a popular pastime with virtually every Victorian household possessing guidebooks dedicated to unravelling the "language" of flowers.
