Did you know that flowers have their own language and symbolic meanings?

The language of flowers has been used through history in symbolic ways by cultures all around the world. I think we are all probably most familiar with how flowers were used in Victorian times to deliver messages that could not be spoken out loud. It could have been as simple a dialogue as a "yes" or "no" answer. Often a much more meaningful message of love, admiration, sorrow, distain or gratitude would have been conveyed by flowers. It's fascinating to think about how much thought and planning would have had to go into presenting a particular message this way.

In some instances, even the way the flowers are arranged would add meaning to the emotion. The list is as long as the number of flowers you can think of. Color also carries specific meaning and emotion for flowers such as roses and zinnia. Herbs too, have symbolic significance.

I love gardening. It's a place to find solace and peace. For me, it provides a closeness to spirit that is hard to clearly describe. It evokes feelings of awe and wonder, hope for humanity, our earth; and a higher power that's way beyond.
