Meaning of Flowers

When words escape, flowers speak'

The origin of the language of flowers pre-dates Victorian times, as flowers have always had religious, mythological and symbolic meanings. Victorian women elaborated on floriography (the assigning of meanings to flowers), to express their feelings within the boundaries of a strict etiquette. We sure have progressed from Victorian days -- e-mail allows us to woo or wish another across the globe as easily as across the room. So if you want to let someone know how you feel, exercise your freedom of expression by choosing from a wide array of meaningful blossoms in 111Flowers.com.
