Introduction:

Floriography is the language of flowers. Plants and flowers were used in the Hebrew Bible and William Shakespeare ascribed meanings to flowers in some of his plays. It is believed that romantic flower language began in Turkey during the 17th century when suitors began using flowers to convey emotional messages. In Victorian England, motivated by Queen Victoria's public fascination for flowers, people endowed flowers with very specific meanings and used them to communicate emotions and messages under their chaperones' watchful eyes. Dozens of flower dictionaries were published. Tussie-Mussies, or nosegays, developed into the text messages of the Victorian world. Typically wrapped in a doily and bound by ribbon, women could pin them to their chests or carry them. Every aspect of a talking-bouquet was symbolically infused. The central flower, not surprisingly, formed the central message. Herbs, foliage and flowers were only added around it if their meanings added to the central message. The way a woman held or wore the small bouquet conveyed the degree of her acceptance of the message.http://summitmastergardeners.org/

Modern Day Floriography:

In 2011, Kate Middleton turned to the language of flowers on her wedding day to convey a personal message to those fluent. Designed in the all white floral traditional, her bouquet (a modern evolution of Tussie-Mussies) featured floral sentiments reminiscent of Queen Victoria. In Kate's bouquet, Lily-of-the-Valley symbolized innocence, Sweet William Dianthus was gallantry, Hyacinth stood for the constancy of love, and Ivy articulated marriage and fidelity. She also had a sprig of Myrtle (meaning the love of home and duty) from a plant grown from the sprig of Myrtle in Queen Victoria's wedding nosegay.
