Be more romantic: Learn to speak the language of the flowers
66
You can express the way you feel about that special someone in your life or her flowers.
In Victorian times, complex messages were often exchanged simply by giving someone a flower, says landscape designer Bonnie Wodin, and roses had a special language all their own:
Offering a single rosebud: I love you
Rose in full bloom: You are beautiful
Open rose above two buds: Keep this secret
Single white rose: Worthiness of the receiver
Yellow rose: Jealousy on the part of the giver
The way a flower was presented or received also spoke volumes, Wodin Says:
Flowers with blooms facing upward: My message is favorable
Flowers with blooms facing downward: My message is unfavorable
Flowers given with the right hand: I agree with you
Flowers given with the left hand: I disagree with you
Kissing a flower upon receipt: Yes
Discarding a petal: No
Flower pinned over the heart upon receipt: I love you.
Even the type of flower given offered a message.
Apple blossoms meant Hope
White carnation meant a woman’s love
Daisy: Cheerfulness
Forget-me-not: True love or remembrance
White hyacinth: Beauty
Ivy: Loyalty or fidelity
Violet: Modesty
