During the 1700s in England people liked to send messages to their friends by means of small bunches of flowers and herbs called 'tussie mussies'. This was called 'floriography'. Different flowers and herbs stood for different feelings. By the nineteenth century, there were even floral dictionaries, and mothers taught their daughters the language of flowers.

They say April showers bring May flowers and while I experienced April almost-blizzards, I'm more than ready for those fragrant blooms. And since they don't seem to be in a hurry, I've decided to bring them to the classroom using various flower-based activities. I prepared something for kids, teens and adults, so you can enjoy them with all your students - both online and offline!

Floriography for adults

Bro, do you even speak carnation? Neither do I, yet in the Victorian era, people often exchanged small talking bouquets, called nosegays or tussie-mussies, worn or carried as a fashion accessory. While I'm not encouraging you to ask your students to bring real flowers, you may introduce the language of flowers in the classroom - you will find the whole list of various plants and their symbols on Wikipedia ( click!). You can encourage a nice discussion about the customary flowers we give on particular occasions and see that is all connected with floriography.

What is more, you can use a funny app Cryptofloricon that combines five most typical flowers: rose, lily, gerbera, chrysanthemum and carnation, in different ways to offer up different messages to the recipient. It's like using emoticons, only far more stylish! For example: rose, chrysanth, chrysanth, chrysanth and gerbera mean I see what you did there!

Ask your students to think about their favourite flowers or the flowers they would like to give to various people in the group - that will spark an interesting activity.

Hey, teenager, write a poem!

Fine, you don't believe teenagers can write poems. My students also didn't believe me - and yet they wrote some real poems in less than 10 minutes! How? Check this lesson plan ( click!) where I shared all the steps and materials I used in my classroom:

It's been years since I introduced writing poems in my classes and I still find it one of my favourite activities - my students discover their hidden talents which is far more important than just learning English, isn't it?

Flower Code for kids

If you teach kids, you know they like something funny, something crafty and something mysterious - and that's why I came up with a flower code! It's a very simple code where each letter is marked by a petal - there are four kinds of petals and seven colours to code a message around the centre of the flower.

To make decoding easier, it's best to start the word with a leaf and move clockwise - then it will be really easy to read it!

I hope you will have a lot of fun with these activities - share with me your codes and poems!

In an unparalleled school year...

One of the books that spoke profoundly to my students was Patrick Ness' award winning story of love and loss, A Monster Calls. If you've never read it, this book would be an excellent addition to your summer reading list. I promise you'll be moved by the story's symmetry, truth, and Jim Kay's breathtaking illustrations. In addition, the book is framed around four tales of life and death that are anything but average, all available on YouTube as short videos excerpted from the feature film starring Louis MacDougall, Liam Neeson and Felicity Jones.

One of the main characters in A Monster Calls is an ancient monster formed from a yew tree who comes to bring truth through stories and healing. Since much of the narrative is framed around a massive tree, it was natural to invite my students to analyze characters using the language of flowers or "floriography," the Victorian era's version of sending a snap or a text message. Thanks to Michael W. Smith & Jeffrey D. Wilhelm's Fresh Takes on Teaching Literary Elements for introducing me to this approach!

In Victorian society, one could express admiration or disdain for another person by sending a particular floral arrangement. Each flower had its own meaning, and in the context of our classrooms, this transfers seamlessly to literary studies. The beauty of this kind of response is that it works with any book study in which one of our goals is to challenge students to cultivate their knowledge of characterization and metaphorical thinking.

As Kate Roberts wisely suggests in her book A Novel Approach, one of the best things we can do as teachers of English language arts is give our students the books they need, and then use those books to teach them skills that can be applied to multiple texts, rather than teaching one book for weeks on end, plowing through every line and extracting all of the joy from the novel in the process.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

Floriography is a creative way to invite students into analysis and inference. It begins by giving students access to charts (readily available online from a variety of sites) that link flowers with different meanings. For example, heliotrope means devotion, while a yellow carnation represents rejection. I use different charts to give students a guide for creating character "bouquets" composed of flowers that represent traits (both qualities and flaws) of principal or supporting characters in a whole class text, or a novel that a student has chosen to read independently or as part of a book club.

Usually, I will ask students to choose three flowers for a character, and then provide rationales for each of their choices. Often, students will end up choosing more than three flowers once they get into the "rhythm" of this type of response. Floriography also works well as a way of inviting students to compare and contrast characters.

While I was skeptical the first time I tried this approach, I learned that students appreciated having the tangible floral "frame" to explore metaphor and construct meaning. Soon, when we read together, they were asking if they could create character bouquets as a way of expressing important elements they noticed such as character motivation and relationships.

A copy of the job sheet that I shared with students the first time we tried character bouquets with A Monster Calls is linked here. Students enjoy creating character bouquets collaboratively as well as individually. My students Chloe and Josie wrote character bouquets linked here.

Character bouquets are also an excellent way to analyze character development in short stories when there is a particular character who changes dramatically in a short time, such as in Shirley Jackson's "Louisa, Please Come Home," a thriller that my eighth graders enjoy reading when we study Jackson's iconic works.

What are your favorite ways to invite students into deeper thinking about story and characters?

Floriography: The Secret Language of Flowers

Floriography allowed the Victorians to communicate their desires without saying anything at all.

Floriography, the cryptological communication through the arrangement and use of flowers, was a wildly popular way to express secret sentiments in the Victorian era, but it originated a bit before then. The fad's development is credited to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, an English poet and aristocrat.

In 1717 Lady Montagu accompanied her husband, the English ambassador to Turkey, to Constantinople. In her letters home she wrote of a Turkish game called "sélam." In reality, sélam was just a popular pastime where women sent messages to one another by exchanging objects that rhymed with another word. Whether intentionally or not, Montagu misunderstood sélam, romanticizing it in her embassy letters as an elaborate coded floral language used by harem women to communicate with their secret lovers.

She said: "There is no color, no flower, no weed, no fruit, herb, pebble, or feather, that has not a verse belonging to it; and you may quarrel, reproach, or send letters of passion, friendship, or civility, or even of news, without ever inking your fingers."

When her letters were later published in 1763, the concept of a secret flower language quickly caught on with the European public. There were two reasons. First, in the 1700s, British people were OBSESSED with all things from the Ottoman Empire. It was perceived as an exotic and sensual place, so Brits were quick to adopt any whiff of a cultural trend from there. And obviously, flowers are sexy. Entire gardens, indoor and in greenhouses, were developed to cultivate rare flowers to use in the home and as accessories. By the 1820s, publishers started to cash in on this growing Floriography trend, compiling lists of flowers and their secret meanings. Meanings were given based on myths, traditions, medical use, color, or just the imagination of whoever was writing the dictionary.

Why the surge of popularity? The concept of a secret code was an appealing outlet for Victorians, who lived in a reserved society where expressing your feelings outwardly was a BIG social faux pas.

Floriography allowed them to communicate their desires without saying anything at all.

Women in particular were in a tough position in the 18th and 19th centuries: they weren't allowed many modes of creative expression. However, anything to do with flowers was considered feminine and socially acceptable. You could really get cerebral with it - even the placement of the flowers could be construed in a number of ways. Bitchy rivalries and erotic flirtations could unfold via floral gifts, and in the end, it could all be denied if things got out of hand. They're only flowers, after all! Or are they?

Oscar Wilde supposedly asked his friends to wear a green carnation on their lapels to hint at their homosexuality. People were saying that gayness was "unnatural," and what's more unnatural than a flower dyed green? Apparently a dried white rose meant "I'd rather be dead than have sex with you." And perviest of all, giving someone a tulip was the equivalent of texting the eggplant emoji, because a tulip looks vaguely like a woman's sexy parts.

Floriography wasn't relegated to bouquets. The language was used in art, literature, and jewelry.

The floriography trend waned by the end of WWI, but if you are interested in learning more about these secret sentiments (there are TONS), this floral dictionary from 1884 continues to be printed to this day.

In the strict Victorian era, floriography (the hidden language of plants) meant flowers dared speak when people did not. We're examining the history of this romantic tradition.

The history of flower-talk

The practice of floriography has been popular for thousands of years.

First popularised in Turkey, it really took off in Britain during the buttoned-up Victorian era, when people used the medium of flowers to send each other messages not deemed expressible aloud.

The meanings attached to flowers, printed in hundreds of floriography dictionaries, often reflected the behaviour or appearance of the plant itself. The Mimosa flower, for example, represents chastity; inspired by the way its petals close at night.

Digital Botanic Garden

Florist and artist Kim Rebecca is inspired by the meanings of flowers. "I love the idea that messages can be passed secretly between people with the flowers they choose."

"The Victorian meaning behind my favourite flower, the spring seasonal Ranunculus, is 'I am dazzled by your charms.' That is absolutely what I want someone to be telling me when they give me flowers!"

While forget-me-nots represented true love and red roses symbolised desire and passion, the Victorians didn't only use floriography to send messages of romance. In fact, delivering a bouquet was often the perfect time to admit your contempt.

"Some meanings are actually really harsh putdowns", Kim told us. Candytufts, for example, signified indifference while garlic could be included to either leave the recipient with a bad smell or to suggest they were some kind of evil spirit/demon in need of warding off.

Some Victorian flower manuals were confusing for this process, however. Hydrangeas, for example, apparently symbolised both heartlessness and sympathy, so the insult may have been misconstrued as an apology.

If Victorians really wanted to shoot straight from the hip, the gift of an orange lily symbolised absolute hatred.

You could even cleverly conceal your spiteful intentions by mixing it in with a yellow lily which alone symbioses gratitude, but mixed with the orange simply denotes falseness.

The secret language of flowers offered a particularly helpful way for homosexual sweethearts to convey their affections without risk of incrimination. Violets represented Sapphic desire while a somewhat uninspiring choice of grass represented the love between gay men.

Writers have long used flowers to convey deeper meanings within their work. In Jane Eyre, for example, as Jane begins to see an end to her time at the evil Lowood school, Charlotte Brontë describes how "flowers peeped out amongst the leaves; Snowdrops, Crocuses, purple Auriculas and golden-eyed Pansies."

In floriography, Snowdrops represent hope, Crocuses a youthful gladness, Auriculas mean deserved merit and Pansies thoughtful reflection. All these flowers perfectly describe Jane's mindset as she prepares to leave her abusive childhood behind.

Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millais. Image via Wiki

In Shakespeare's flowers are hugely important for the character of Ophelia.

When she gathers her bouquet in Act 4, she picks up Fennel symbolising remembrance, for Hamlet who has forgotten her. Rue symbolising regret and the frailty of woman for Gertrude after her hasty marriage to Claudius, and Violets which can symbolise modesty, but which "withered all when my father died"; the same time she became mad.

Ophelia is also constantly depicted with daisies, symbolising her innocence and forsaken love.

Daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) flourish in March or April and thus, together with snowdrops, symbolise the coming of spring - and in many countries Easter as well. As every flower lover knows, flowers have a language of their own. Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by these fragile blooms, and as a leading psychologist states: "Flowers are a perfect replica of human life".
The history of florigraphy
The language of flowers is also known as floriography, and the Turks, as early as in the 17th century seemed to develop flower meanings, as a way for the concubine women who could not read or write to communicate with each other. In 1718 the wife of the British ambassador to Constantinople, Lady Mary Wortley, wrote a letter expounding on the "Secret Language of Flowers" that she had discovered during her visits to Turkey.

Then in 1819, Louise Cortambert, under the pen name, Madame Charlotte de la Tour, wrote and published the first dictionary of the flower language, Le Language des Fleurs, soon to become a popular reference on the subject. Victorian women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings that the strict propriety of the times would not allow.

In 1884 a whole book on the subject and entitled, The Language of Flowers, by Jean Marsh and illustrated by Kate Greenaway, was published in London. It became popular and respected and has been the standard source for Victorian flower meanings. However, as so many new floral dictionaries were published, you had to make sure to get the same dictionary as your loved one, in order to avoid misunderstandings!

William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and many others - all used the language of flowers in their writings. Most famous for its use of daffodils is probably William Wordsworth's poem 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud'. So when red roses mean love, what then does the Daffodil stand for?"
Daffodil or Narcissus?
Let's first take a closer look at the daffodil species. Although no official numbers exist, some experts, however, believe there are as few as 26 and others as many as 60 daffodil species. On top of this amount, another 6.000 varieties and at least 13.000 hybrids are known to exist.

The best known international name for daffodils is without doubt "Narcissus", originating from Greek and/or Latin and stemming from the well-known myth about the beautiful boy Narcissus, who died after having stared obsessively at his own reflection in the water. According to the myth, a daffodil sprouted up at the sight where he had died.
Daffodil - what's in a name?
With the fate of Narcissus in mind, it is therefore reasonable to connect daffodils to "Egotism" and "Vanity". However, Wikipedia suggests that daffodil are associated with "Regard" but there is also a listing of the symbolic meaning of flowers in which the daffodil is associated with "Uncertainty", "Chivalry", "Respect" or "Unrequited love". Chivalry seems to be especially associated with the great yellow daffodil but another reference links daffodils to deceit.

Before you get totally confused, it is also worth mentioning that The Flowers and Plants Association's website lists the Daffodil as meaning "Regard" or "Chivalry". In addition, it has a separate meaning for Narcissus suggesting "Self-esteem" and the rather assertive "Female ambition". However, the strong association of the daffodil with Easter makes an association with "Re-birth" and "New beginnings" more obvious.

Finally, one has to take into consideration the different meaning of flowers in different cultures or parts of the world. For instance, in China, daffodils are associated with "Good fortune" and in Japan, "Mirth and Joyousness". A French Language of Flowers postcard attributes the Narcisse with "Esperance" - "Hope".

A final word before you decide to buy your special one flowers - let's say for Easter: It seems that to receive one daffodil implies "Misfortune" whilst several daffodils mean "Joy and Happiness". I wouldn't dare save my money knowing every bouquet tells a story...

Not only are flowers beautiful additions to our homes, weddings and special events, they also have different meanings attached to them. Flower language - or floriography - is the art of flower symbolism, which varies depending on the type, colour and number of flowers given.

Do you want to send a message of love? Let someone know how much you admire or appreciate them? Whatever you want to say, say it with flowers after all there's a variety for practically every feeling you'd ever want to express.

With our guide to the language of flowers you can add extra meaning to the next bouquet you send or the flowers you choose for your next special occasion. Read on to find the emotion you'd like to express and the ideal flowers to do it.

Floriography is another name for the language of flowers. Within the art of floriography, every flower carries its own special meaning or symbolism, according to its variety and colour.

Some flowers even take on a new meaning dependent on the number gifted - for example a single red rose denotes 'love at first sight', whereas a dozen red roses say 'be mine'.

Once you understand the meaning of flowers, you can start experimenting with different flower content to let your loved one know exactly how you feel about them.

A single red rose denotes 'love at first sight'

Although many credit the Turks for developing flower meanings in the 17th century, the language of flowers is most commonly associated with the Victorian era. It was during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837 - 1901) that flowers were used to communicate feelings that the strict etiquette of the era would not allow to be openly expressed.

The flowers were sent in the form of small bouquets, known as tussie-mussies or nosegays. They typically consisted of fragrant herbs and a single, meaningful flower wrapped in a lace doily. Suitors presented tussie-mussies to their prospective lovers and watched to see if they were accepted. So, how did you know if a potential lover accepted your advances?

Held at heart level - Well done! You've been accepted with joy.
Held downwards - Not this time. Better move on.
To answer 'yes' - Flowers are given in the right hand.
To answer 'no' - Flowers are given in the left hand.

Carnation

They stand for love, fascination and distinction but the colour you choose changes the meaning slightly:
Light Red - admiration
Dark Red - deep love and affection
White- pure love and good luck
Pink - a Mother's undying love

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies)

This is a flower of friendship that also symbolises wealth, prosperity and fortune.

Orchid

These highly distinctive flowers symbolise rare and delicate beauty. Interestingly, they were favoured by the Ancient Greeks to show masculinity but this has now changed to a more feminine meaning.

Camellia

The general meaning of these flowers is love, affection and admiration. Go for white to show adoration and pink to show longing (often given to someone who is missed).

What does a Cuban baby smell like? Rum? Sugarcane? Cigars? I hope not. We smell like violets. Our bath-time ritual involved our moms spritzing our chunky little bodies with the same violet fragrance from the island's most iconic perfumery. It's called Agustin Reyes. Violets were the scent of my childhood, and incidentally, it's what most every Cuban baby smells like. So since birth, really, I experienced the power of flowers. Now, on the surface, flowers are pretty to look at and they smell nice. But on a deeper level, flowers can sometimes say things we can't, or they can trigger an emotion, or they can change behavior. Now these days, flowers are prolific. You can't walk into a grocery store without flying past cheap bunches of week-old daisies soaking in a bucket, just begging to be useful. (Laughter) But it wasn't always that way. I want you to come along with me as we unearth the long-lost language of flowers, hailing back to Victorian England when flowers served as our emotional proxy, a time when vocalizing feelings that are common today were back then considered social suicide. We'll blend that with the new hard science of a flower's unique ability to reduce stress and elevate mood. You'll walk away equipped to launch an arsenal of petals as you leverage this underestimated tool in your interactions throughout the modern world. Now, tighten your corset, and travel back to the Victorian era with me. This was a time in British history when feelings and emotions were culturally suppressed: don't use puns, don't express disappointment, definitely don't LOL. (Laughter) Not surprisingly, a life hack emerged, an alternative method of communicating - through flowers. And this language of flowers is called "floriography," and we have Lady Mary Wortley Montagu to thank for it. She was the wife of the British ambassador to Turkey in the 1700s. And this is where she first observed a simple flower language, and she was fascinated by it. In fact, she said, "You may quarrel, reproach, send letters of friendship, passion, civility or even of news, without ever inking your fingers." This turned out to be perfect timing. The 1800s were a golden age of gardening in England, and that's because flowers became much more accessible to the middle class. Prior to that, having an abundant supply and variety of flowers was reserved for the ultra wealthy that had cutting gardens for their extravagant parties and kitchen gardens for cooking. But during Victorian times, hothouses, or greenhouses, became more affordable, so more people could grow their own flowers and herbs. Now, most of the plants were native to Europe still, but as a result of the hothouses, people could now grow a little bit more exotic varieties from subtropical climates, like China or the Mediterranean or South Africa. In no time, this secret flower language became so elaborate that they started publishing floral dictionaries to decode these expressive arrangements. The dictionaries were divided into two parts, so if you received a bouquet, you could look up the flower by name, or if you were the one sending a message, you could search by the meaning you wanted to convey. Spoiler alert - they weren't all nice messages. So let's dive into some examples. Rhododendron and oleander - pretty but poisonous. So if you found one of these on your doorstep, it's a warning: sleep with one eye open. Peony - gorgeous, but it means you're angry with someone, and that's because peonies don't like to be disturbed. They resent being transplanted and often won't bloom for several years after they've been moved, just to stick it to you. (Laughter) Meadow saffron - it means "you're past your prime." (Laughter) Ouch, right? And that's because they bloom in the fall, which signals the end of the delightful days of summer. Now, not all of them were passive-aggressive. Wisteria and American starwort express welcome to a stranger. So that's perfect for guests. Ice plant - this is a good one to give to your sweetie. It means "Your looks freeze me." Pun intended. (Laughter) This is a succulent, and the way that water is stored on the surface of its leaves reflects sunlight in a way that sparkles, resembling ice crystals. Forget-me-not means just that, and that's because they're easy to miss in the shady spots of the forest, where they grow. They're small plants, and they produce these tiny little flowers, and although they might be too small for a bouquet, you would see them planted in cemeteries. Now, if you really want to geek out, certain flowers held a variety of meanings based on the shade of color or what the stage the flower was in. For instance, let's take roses. So, if you had a schoolboy crush on a young lady, a light pink shade would be appropriate, on a tight rose bud. But if you wanted to convey deeply passionate love, a dark red rose in full bloom would be the right choice for a woman in the height of her beauty and maturity. Even the way flowers were received communicated a message. For instance, if a suitor was courting a woman, he might make her a tussy mussy. It's not a trendy cocktail; it's a small bouquet made of flowers and herbs, and if you handed it to a woman and she grabbed it with her left hand facing down, she's just not that into you. But if she grabbed it with her right hand facing up, it's game on; hence, the modern-day wedding bouquet. Okay, you can put your skinny jeans back on because we're heading into the present. Has anybody heard of the Duchenne smile? It's the scientific term for a truly genuine smile. And it's what researchers at Rutgers University observed when they conducted a study on the connection between flowers and emotions. They gave a variety of thank-you gifts to female participants and then measured their facial expressions. Unlike other gifts, like a candle or a fruit basket, every single participant that received a floral bouquet reacted with that authentic Duchenne smile, indicating that flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. The results also showed that flowers have a long-term positive effect on mood. Even days later, participants reported feeling less depressed and less anxious. There was also a social byproduct to this flower experiment. The study revealed that the bouquets were displayed in common areas of the home, illustrating that we have a desire to share the same warm feelings that flowers bring us, with others. The human relationship with flowers goes back quite a ways. One theory suggests that in early agrarian societies, flowers were considered weeds and immediately yanked when they popped up in the corners of the precious real estate that we use to grow food for our survival. But at some point, a shift occurred. Perhaps when we grew enough to feed our bellies, we made room for these blooms to feed our souls. Now indulge me for a minute. I'm going to play the flower doctor and hand out prescriptions for modern-day scenarios. This first one comes to us from Chris W. He says, "I'm in a new relationship, and things are going really well. I think she could be the one. But I want to come clean about the fact that I never submitted her application materials to her overseas dream job because I'm afraid of losing her. Please help." (Laughter) Oh boy. Well, Chris, there's a couple things involved here, so we need to take a two-pronged approach to your bouquet. First, your desire to be honest with her is admirable, but we've got to tackle the deception, and you'll need snapdragons for that. Then comes the apology. Pair that with purple hyacinth, which means "Please forgive me." Good luck. (Laughter) This next one comes to us from Julie P. She says, "Long-time listener, first-time caller. I've been dating a guy for a few months now, and he's very charming. But recently I found out that he's selfish and he can't be trusted. He essentially tried to sabotage my future. How do I cut this guy loose?" (Laughter) Oh. Dear Julie, what I hear you saying is that it's too little, too late, and you're looking for an epic way to dump this unsupportive fellow. I have just the thing. Gather up a few striped carnations, which mean you're outright refusing him. Then couple that with a scarlet geranium. It symbolizes stupidity. (Laughter) You should be all set. Finally, Heather asks, "I'm a small business owner, and my firm recently landed a big account. I couldn't have done it without the long hours and creativity that my team put in. How should I thank them?" In this case, Heather, the right flower for the job is technically a leafy shrub. Laurel has long been associated with victory and success, so you could give them each a beautiful wreath. White bellflower is also a good choice, as it conveys gratitude. Congrats. Whatever the situation, there's a flower for that, and this is as true today as it was 200 years ago. So forget about bigger is better. My feelings for you are not directly proportional to the size or cost of an arrangement. Instead, the real value lies in the meaning of the flowers you choose. This elevates the gesture. So think about what this person means to you and what the situation calls for to harness the timeless language of flowers. Thank you. (Applause)

Der er virkeligt noget om det, når man bruger udtrykket "sig det med blomster". For både arten, farven og antallet af blomsterne i din buket har en helt unik symbolik og hemmelig betydning. Bliv klogere på, hvordan du taler floriografi - også kaldet blomstersprog.

Af Pernille Lewinsky Kofoed

I dag er blomstersproget mere eller mindre røget i glemmeboksen, men blomster og planter har altid haft en magisk betydning i mange kulturer. Tanken om, at hver blomst har sin helt egen symbolik og "hemmelige" betydning, har været kendt i Europa siden middelalderen. Op igennem tiden har blomster været brugt til at kommunikere med, og er blandt andet blevet brugt af store forfattere som Shakespeare til at symbolisere forskellige ting.

Især i 1700- og 1800-tallet var det Victorianske blomstersprog, floriografi, meget udviklet og forfinet, hvor det i de borgerlige miljøer var rart at kunne udtrykke sine følelser på en diskret og indirekte facon. Med en buket blomster kunne man udtrykke sine "hemmelige" følelser - helt uden at sige et ord.

Roserne taler deres eget sprog

Man mener, at det var de gamle grækere, der først associerede den røde rose med kærlighedsgudinden Afrodite, og grunden til, at der den dag i dag, bliver givet så mange røde roser på både Valentinsdag og som kærlighedserklæringer i andre sammenhænge, er, at den røde blomst symboliserer kærlighed, passion, skønhed og energi. Således er den røde rose stadig den stærkeste måde at sige "Jeg elsker dig" på.

Rosernes særlige sprog

1 rød rose: Jeg begærer dig. Du er alt for mig

3 røde roser: Jeg elsker dig

7 røde roser: Jeg er din for evigt

12 røde roser: Stærkere kan jeg ikke udtrykke min kærlighed

Små røde roser: Alt er nyt for mig. Giv mig tid

1 rød rose & 2 røde knopper: Dette må holdes hemmeligt

1 hvid rose: Renhed. Jeg elsker dig sjæl

1 gul rose: Jeg håber. Jeg er heldig. Mange mener også, at gule roser er et symbol på venskab

7 gule roser: Styrke og udholdenhed

Lilla rose: Mistænksomhed og misundelse

Rosa roser: Kærlighed

3 røde roser betyder "Jeg elsker dig".

Hvilke blomster til begravelser?

Blomster er en stor del af en begravelse og herhjemme har vi tradition for at bruge blomster som en sidste smuk hilsen for at ære den afdøde eller de efterladte. Der er mange forskellige blomster og typer af buketter at vælge imellem, der alle har hver deres symbolik. Fx symboliserer blomsterkranse livets cirkel og det endeløse samt troen på at åndens eksistens ikke ophører.

Da en begravelse er en trist begivenhed, kan det være en god ide at holde lidt igen med meget farverige og prangende buketter. Dog bør afdødes personlighed gerne spille lidt ind i forhold til blomstervalget. Til kvinder holder man sig typisk til neutrale og feminine farver. Er det en mand må farverne gerne være mere maskuline men stadig i neutral toner.
