The 1800’s brought a new language to popular culture. The language of flowers.
Women would use this language to communicate with other women to show their feelings without the scorn of men. When one woman was going through a difficult time, her friend would send her a bouquet of flowers that would express her feelings. Whether it was to encourage, express sympathies, or simply to uplift, the language of flowers was a daily reminder to your friend’s deep feelings.
I bring you a bouquet of clematis to remind you of your inner beauty, resilience, and encourage your aspirations. The pink roses are symbols of your grace and joy.
