Floriography
Floriography is the language of flowers, where different blooms convey specific meanings and emotions. This practice became particularly popular during the Victorian era, allowing people to express feelings that were often considered inappropriate to say aloud. Each flower and its color can symbolize various sentiments, such as love, friendship, or sorrow.
In floriography, roses typically represent love, while lilies may symbolize purity. The meanings can also vary by culture and context, making it a rich and nuanced form of communication. Today, floriography is still used in floral arrangements and gifts to convey messages without words.
