The Victorian Language of Flowers the Meaning of Flowers on Handkerchiefs

The Victorian Language of Flowers

Did you know you may convey your sentiments to an individual without ever saying a word? That is of course if they occur to speak the Language of Flowers. Everyone loves gorgeous flowers and it appears since ancient times that they had special symbolism. In the book Song of Solomon in the Bible you will find the loved one calling herself a Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Authors and poets oftentimes use flowers in their writings. The language of flowers became peculiarly significant in the romantic Victorian era.

As I became mesmerized in gathering and now syndication vintage ladies handkerchiefs I found that you may tell a story or express a message to somebody by giving them handkerchiefs with sure flowers embroidered or printed on them. Hankies are great gifts to send to far away friends in birthday, get well, or friendship cards. Hopefully this list will support you out in determining the meaning of sure flowers you will find on your ladies handkerchiefs. Enjoy!
