Redefining flower language

Yeah, when I found out it was such a let down.

There was another post explaining the exact flower arrangement needed to convey this message.

There was actually a Horrible Histories episode on what the flowers mean. There was some that meant death, I sort of like you, I don't love you anymore... etc.

Something like this came up on tumblr and koscheiis said that a bouquet of geraniums, foxgloves, meadowsweet, yellow carnations, and orange lilies would basically be the perfect way to say 'Fuck You' in flower.

But Ive read about flower language and manyyy meant really different things, not just romantic

Everyone should be quiet and read Forget-Her-Nots by Amy Brevount White, or at least the section that has a long list of flowers and their meanings.

Actually, in Elizabethan England, flowers had different meanings and were like a code. Pansies were for thoughts, fennel: infidelity, roses were love and so on. You wouldn't dream of getting your date columbines (also infidelity--there must have been a lot of infidelity going on) and you CERTAINLY wouldn't give your mother roses. Just a fun fact
