The language of flowers Victorian flower meaning of Handkerchiefs

The Language of Flowers Victoria

Did you know that can transmit their feelings to someone without saying a word? This is, of course, if they speak the language of flowers. Everyone loves beautiful flowers and it seems that from ancient times they had a special symbolism. In the Song of Songs in the book of the Bible is the loved one to call itself a Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the valley. Writers and poets often use the flowers in his writings. The language of flowers became especially important in the romantic Victorian era.

As interest in collecting and now selling vintage ladies handkerchiefs that I found you can tell a story or convey a message to someone giving him a handkerchief with some flowers embroidered or printed on them. The scarves are great gifts to send to friends far away in birthday, good health, or friendship cards. Hopefully this list will help in determining the meaning of certain flowers that you find in your scarves ladies. Enjoy!
