There is no doubt that when presenting a bouquet, you want to be sure that you have made the right choice. And if you have composed a bouquet, taking into account the meaning of the flowers, it will turn into a very valuable gift.
When giving flowers, we must remember that each of them has a certain concept associated with it. And if this is known to the person to whom you are giving the bouquet, then by hastily and carelessly approaching its composition, you can put yourself in an awkward position.
But we cannot talk about the language of flowers as if it were some kind of Esperanto. There are a huge number of interpretations, each of which presents its own versions of the transcripts, often contradicting other sources. This difference in interpretation appears for reasons of space and time. The same can be said about the languages we speak (in France - French, in Japan - Japanese, and Old Russian is strikingly different from modern Russian).
Having become acquainted with all the variety of flower interpretations, I was convinced that it was simply not possible to combine and group all of this together. Therefore, we decided to focus on the most interesting and, in our opinion, most reliable interpretations.
Some sources claim that the language of flowers was born in the era of romanticism and for more than a hundred years was an integral part of the sentimental games of lovers. Flowers helped lovers conduct a silent dialogue and express a complex range of experiences. Sometimes flowers were sent instead of letters. For example, the hyacinth “set” the day of the meeting by the number of buds, and the bell “specified” even the hour of the meeting by the number of flowers.
The British give pansies to the women they love. And even if feelings were hidden until this day, they can only be expressed with the help of these wonderful flowers.

And in Ancient Germany, lilies of the valley were considered the key to love and happiness in family life.
In Japan, hydrangeas express sorrow, and in other countries they are endowed with the ability to ward off illness and misfortune.
Hyacinths, carnations, chrysanthemums are awarded married woman to show respect for her. To remind you of something purely personal, yellow flowers are interspersed into the bouquet. If a girl is presented with dahlias, this is a sign of sad, unrequited love. Daisies are young flowers, unmarried girls. White flowers predominate in the bride's bouquet, and a bouquet of white callas is a wish have a good marriage(in any other cases it is preferable color accent). There is a belief that gerberas in a bouquet (a large scarlet flower with two white ones) bring happiness. Before a long journey or separation, it is customary to present a bouquet with a predominance of red. Red gladioli should be given at the birth of a son, and multi-colored ones if a daughter is born (according to other sources, when congratulating on the birth of a girl, it is customary to give pink or red flowers, representing the dawn of life, and blue or purple for a boy).
Here are some color interpretations:

The tradition of giving flowers appeared in the distant past in the East. With the help of flowers, lovers communicated with each other, because writing appeared not so long ago. Each flower expressed a specific symbol and had its own meaning. Despite the fact that ancient traditions have already been lost, people continue to be interested in this information. Let's take a closer look at the meaning of flowers in a bouquet.
In the East, they attached importance not only to the color of plants, but also to the number of flowers in a bouquet. The design of the bouquet also mattered decorative elements. The floral tradition came to Europe, and in the 17th century floral dictionaries were compiled, in which the language of flowers and bouquets was described in detail. The language of flowers reached Russia, however, it acquired its own meaning and national flavor.
The same flower has different meanings and symbols in different cultures.
For example, lily in ancient Rome symbolized wealth, and ancient Egypt The bodies of dead girls were decorated with lilies. Similar to Egyptian meaning was in ancient Germany, where the lily was considered a symbol of suicides or victims of violence. The Germans believed that lilies mystically grew on the graves of the unfortunate. But in France, the lily had a symbol of royal greatness and power.

Lilies suitable for the bride as an expression of purity and innocence. Wedding bouquet choose white.
Gerberas They look very attractive, as they resemble daisies in their appearance. Gerberas can be given to a girl as a sign of attention and as an expression of your feelings.
We express our feelings with flowers.
Flowers have their own language. There is no doubt that flowers can convey feelings without words, and for every feeling there is a flower.
People attached a certain meaning to different colors and even invested them with mystical meaning. In reality, things took such a turn that a completely independent language arose, called “floriography” (floriography) - the language of flowers.
This language was used especially actively in the Victorian era. We must not forget about religious symbolism, which gives flowers a divine meaning. There are references to flowers, herbs and plants in Biblical times. In the Middle Ages, people believed that herbs had magical powers, and flowers took pride of place in royal flower gardens. Flower gardens were plentiful in the Victorian era; people not only enjoyed but also studied the beautiful flowers, which helped them create a list of symbolic meanings of their favorite flowers.
When and where the language of flowers originated remains a mystery.
According to some statements, it was Japan, according to others, China, while others claim that the language of flowers originated in India. In any case, in the 1600s the language of flowers was known in the Byzantine Empire, and in 1716 information about the magical language of flowers was brought to England by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. In 1819, the first flower dictionary, created by Charlotte de la Tour, appeared in Paris. But the most popular book on the language of flowers was written in 1879 by a Victorian lady, Miss Corruthers of Inverness, a small town in Scotland. Her book Flowers lore: Teachings of Flowers Historical, Poetical and Sumbolical became the source and basis of flower symbolism in England and the United States.
The language of flowers and Queen Victoria.
In the Victorian era, during the reign of Queen Victoria of England from 1837 to 1901, the popularity of the language of flowers reached its apogee. The language of flowers is becoming as important for people as the ability to “dress well.” Even the recognition of smells has meaning: the aroma of a particular flower, plant, or even the aroma of a handkerchief conveyed a certain message.
In the Victorian era, everything was decorated with flowers: hair, clothes, jewelry, dresses, men's lapels, home decor and china, stationery. Only a small fraction is listed here. The young man could express his delight or displeasure to the lady, but he did it not with words, but in a much more subtle way - he showed his feelings in the form of a bouquet of flowers. Flowers could convey a message of love or dislike, depending on what kind of flowers were sent, what their sizes were, or how those flowers were grouped into a bouquet. Flowers served as silent messages and could tell about things that a person would not dare to say out loud. Even the manner in which flowers were sent carried its own secret meaning. Flowers presented vertically meant positive thoughts; presented in the opposite direction, they acquired a negative meaning. If the bouquet was presented with the right hand, it meant “yes,” if with the left, it meant “no.”
Everyone could master the language of flowers - special dictionaries were created for this purpose. Especially in great demand these dictionaries were used by lovers. In the dictionary one could read that “ROSE” symbolizes love, but each variety and color of rose gives its own shade of meaning. "LILY" is a symbol of beauty, but lilies are multifaceted and the messages took on different symbolic meanings. You can imagine the predicament the lovers might find themselves in if they used different dictionaries: each dictionary could offer its own own interpretation, and then hidden meaning could be misinterpreted. Such a nuisance could lead to the most unpredictable consequences! So, we see how important it is to learn how to make flower arrangements, and to do it beautifully and correctly, and also to be able to correctly explain their hidden meaning.
In the Victorian era they loved to arrange bouquets of flowers. Tussie-Mussies were especially popular as gifts.
Tussy-mussy is a small bouquet of flowers in a lace napkin, tied with a satin ribbon. The secret that such a bouquet hid within itself aroused a persistent desire to unravel the encrypted message. Unraveling Tussie-Mussie messages has become a popular hobby and a popular pastime.
The language of flowers and modernity
But what about in our time? Don't we experience the same passions, aren't we subject to strong feelings? Of course yes! And there are still situations when it is difficult to convey your true feelings in words. This is especially true for such a subtle matter as love. How many experiences are associated with thinking: “How can I tell her that I love her?” How difficult it can be to say the phrase: “I want to become your friend,” “You are special,” or “You are not like everyone else.”
A poet, faced with such a problem, will compose a song or write a poem. It will be much more difficult for someone who is not marked with such a divine gift.
What to do? There is a way out, and this way out is effective and worthy, despite its simplicity. You should just give a bouquet of flowers!
For example, roses can represent a variety of moods and feelings. Passion and romantic love are still associated with scarlet roses. Pink roses mean less passionate love, but more tender and poetic. White roses are sincerity and purity, and yellow roses are friendship. Blue roses are given to mysterious and inaccessible people. Blue roses can also mean unattainable love.
All that remains is to master this elegant language and bring romance into modern world. Be sure to include an accompanying card in the message so that the message can be deciphered. I offer a list of the most popular and widespread plants and flowers and their symbolic meanings. Of course, this list can be continued indefinitely. And if you find any other meanings, please report them to our forum. We should also not forget that the meaning of flowers can change depending on the combinations in the bouquet.

Floral etiquette was born in the East and was created by women. Deprived of communication, not daring to often reveal their faces, they transferred all the shades of their mood and feelings onto the flowers. Associations that once arose gradually turned into persistent symbols, thanks to which it was possible to carry on a conversation. In the Eastern tradition, it is considered important: when flowers are presented, whether the giver holds the bouquet with the inflorescences up or down, in the left or right hand whether the bouquet is decorated with leaves and whether the thorns of the roses are removed.
Knowledge about floral etiquette came to Europe thanks to the notes of two people: Aubry de la Mottraye (French: Aubry de la Mottraye) and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Aubrey de la Mottre described his stay at the court of King Charles XII of Sweden in Turkey in the two-volume book “Travels... through Europe, Asia and Africa” in 1727.
The wife of the British ambassador to Istanbul in 1717, Mary Wortley Montagu, described the secret language of love correspondence "selam", also called the "language of objects and flowers", in her letters published in 1763, shortly after her death, which made her famous. "There is no paint, no flower, no weed, no fruit, no grass, no stone, no bird's feather that does not have a corresponding verse, and you can quarrel, scold, send letters of passion, friendship, courtesy, or exchange news, without getting dirty." your fingers." - Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.
Floral dictionaries were published throughout the 18th century, describing the meaning of a particular plant. The language of flowers was very popular in both France and England during the time of Queen Victoria. In 1930, the book “Selam or the Language of Flowers” by the Russian poet D.P. was published in St. Petersburg. Oznobishin, where about 400 meanings of plants were described. Basically, the symbols and meanings of colors reflected generally accepted associations, often far-fetched and fictitious. The book was very popular among young people.
Color associations in floral etiquette. Red was associated with the color of life, love (hence the rose is a symbol of love, the carnation is the flower of passion), as well as the color of blood, a symbol of anger and revenge (the color of war and revolution). White- symbol of purity and innocence (lily); black - a symbol of sadness, mourning; yellow - a symbol of disgust, hatred; golden - a symbol of sun and joy; green is a symbol of hope; blue is the color of the gods; blue - a symbol of fidelity (forget-me-nots, violets); purple is a symbol of greatness.
The poet Dmitry Oznobishin, a contemporary of Pushkin and Lermontov, devoted a special study to flowers. In 1830, he translated from Persian and published the book “Selam, or the language of flowers” and included more than 400 names of plants, where each of them corresponded to a saying or phrase in the language of flowers. He believed that the secret language appeared in those parts where women were forced, due to class prejudices, to lead a secluded lifestyle, but reserved the right to express true feelings. Oznobishin introduced the game of forfeits into our lives, which began with these words: “I was born a gardener...” Surprisingly, I remembered this game, we once played it. I even remember the words: “I was born a gardener, I was seriously angry, I was tired of all the flowers, except...”

In Japan, for example, the homeland of the chrysanthemum, its image is included in the national emblem; it is a symbol of the sun. and represents fidelity and the yellow color is considered a symbol of light and sun and is given to those people to whom they wish goodness and light.

Parents, have pity on your children, it’s already hard for them, don’t burden them with gladioli or long-stemmed roses. You can give asters, gerberas, bushy roses, lilies, daisies, whatever is convenient to carry. Tell your son or daughter that it’s good not just to puff and blush and shove a bouquet, but to say a few words, looking into the eyes of the one for whom it is intended.
A bouquet intended for a child for his birthday must be bright and colorful, in joyful colors. Give him one flower or a small mixed bouquet of small and delicate flowers. It is not customary to give bright red flowers to a young girl. You can give her lilies of the valley, tulips... and everything she loves. You can give orchids to your beloved woman, but it is not recommended to give her carnations. Give your mother roses or roses collected from different flowers and elegantly decorated. Avoid giving dark and quickly fading flowers to older women. You can give a compact bouquet of light flowers, but not white, since white is the color of the bride. It is customary for elderly people to give flowers with long peduncles - gladioli.
Some people believe that men should not be given flowers. Not entirely true. - roses, gladioli, chrysanthemums. Gladioli - traditional male flower, reminiscent of chivalry. And if a man has an anniversary, opening day or premiere, then there is a reason to give him.
The language of flowers is complex and not understandable to everyone, but if the bouquet is given from the heart, the services of an interpreter are not required,
but nevertheless, you can safely give in any situation. Lilac, bird cherry, wild flowers for official situation are not suitable, although an office in an office, if its owner is a lady, lilac will not only decorate it, but will give it a slightly homely atmosphere. If there is love in the house indoor plants, you can safely carry a rare cactus.
The flower seller addresses the student:

One flower is a sign of attention; three flowers are a sign of respect; five - confessions; seven - love... If there are more than twelve flowers, then the count goes to half a dozen, that is, the number of flowers in the bouquet should be divided by six.
A million scarlet roses. How many roses are in the bouquet given by your loved one? One flower means caution, three means interest, five or seven means intention, nine means love, 11 means passion, 15 or more are interpreted unambiguously: now everything is possible. It is not customary to give 13 roses. Funeral bouquets are usually made up of an even number of flowers, preferably in strict and dark tones.
