Floriography, or the language of flowers, is the use of a flower as a means of expression. Believed to have originated among Turkish women, the usage of floriagraphy as a coded language spread like wildfire during the emotionally repressed Victorian age. A specific type of flower can refer to an individual’s trait, intention, sentiment, social concern or condition.
