THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
Oh, flowers, you darlings of Nature, How lovely and sweet are you; But the first to give you a meaning Was a lover faithful and true. May you convey what I would impart To the maiden who’s captured my heart. —Goldsmith.
There is a sentiment about flowers which appeals to the heart of everyone. The lover conveys his message of love, the friend, his token of friendship thru a bouquet or box of blooming flowers. Every incident of our busy and eventful lives can be celebrated by the gift of flowers. Births, christenings, birthdays, graduations, confirmations, weddings, anniversaries and funerals:—all are appropriately observed by the sending of plants or blossoms. It is not strange, therefore, that among most nations a sentimental language has been created in which the flower speaks its part and repeats the message of the heart. While there is no fixed vocabulary, the following table gives the sentiments most frequently associated with flowers.
