Language of flowers

Language of flowers is also called floriography, it is a way of assigning meaning to flowers. This practice was created in Victorian times as a mean of communication and various flowers were used to send code messages to one's lover. Flowers allow people to express feelings that could not be spoken in words. Even though the practice is no longer used and necessary today, I still find this language very fascinating so I'm gonna share some commons flowers' meaning with everyone :)
