Friendship, Concealed love or Innocent love, you can express

meanings to flowers began in Turkey during the seventeenth
century. Lovers began using floral exchanges to convey particular
messages. The Victorian era witnessed rise in the popularity
of flower language and corresponding meaning assigned to different

were published during that period. Suitors carefully studied
these guidebooks to select appropriate bouquets for their
sweethearts.
