FB Floriography Post Series: 02

These days if we fancy someone we generally just grind up against them in a club or swipe right. #HAK7

If we’re being especially classy, we buy them a drink. But think back to the Victorian era, when you were barely allowed to look at your crush without a matron aunt breathing down your neck.

Back then, people had to get creative. Thus, the ‘secret’ language of flowers was born. But it is a wee bit tricky one. Like:

• A #RedCarnation would signify Love

• But a #StripedCarnation was as good as Dumping someone.

And these days,

• We associate #WhiteLilies with Mourning. 

• back then, an #OrangeLily signified Hatred. NOT the message you want to pass on at a Funeral.
  
  

So I am here to expound everything you need to know about #Floriography, and how to pass on a message via the medium of the love of a flower. Stay tuned.
