Flowers are love's truest language

(But sometimes even the truth needs a little help)

Flowers are part of our daily life. For virtually every event, we have assigned a special flower. Flowers for love, church, church graveyard, marriage, etc. In the 16th century, inns used to have a branch or flower stalk as a signboard, which later often changed only into the name of a specific tree or flower. Many times one finds flower gardens in mythological sceneries. The allegoric use of flowers is uncountable: attributes for springtime, youth, sunrise, rhetoric, virtue, etc. Lots of countries carry a flower as a national symbol: Hungary has the tulip and Scotland the thistle, etc.

On our site, we have dedicated a page to flower symbolism where you can read much more about the symbolism behind the use of floral motifs. Enjoy!
