Language of Fowers®: Flower Sentiments™
The “Language of Flowers”® represents 200 years of tradition...that individual types of flowers and flower colors express specific “Flower Sentiments” and “Flower Meanings”, including Aphrodite's lovely beseechment of Ophelia in "Hamlet"..."there's rosemary, that's for remembrance, pray love... remember."* In the Nineteenth Century, “Language of Flowers” flourished and grew into a very popular cultural movement in France, then England and America. *Some of the flower meanings, associations and symbolism reach back into much earlier cultures. The name "Language of Flowers" was first used in print in 1809.
We began our flowers sentiments and flower meanings research in the 80's using a wide variety of "authentic sources to systematically determine the primary sentiment for each flower." In some instances, we list additional important sentiments. Because of our intensive research, we believe our website provides the most authentic, accurate and comprehensive directory of “Language of Flowers” Flower Sentiments and Flower Meanings. Establishing an authentic standard of “Flower Sentiments” is very important, so the giving of floral expressions from the heart in the cherished "Language of Flowers®" tradition will continue with continuity. See our comprehensive bibliography under "About Us" Most websites display flower sentiments and flower meaning using only one reference .
