Have you ever felt calm, energized, or joyful in the presence of flowers? Flowers are much more than only beauty and smell, therefore you are not imagining those feelings. A single bloom might have several different meanings. Now the question is, who decided on the flower’s meaning? The Victorians were to blame! They were the ones who appreciated flowers more than they did. Because it was deemed unethical to exhibit one’s amorous feelings in public at the time, they began to convey their love through online flower delivery. They published a one-of-a-kind Victorian flower code or dictionary, which featured flowers and their meanings. The meanings of your favorite flowers have been discussed here, both known and unknown.
