Origin

Flower language originated in ancient Greece. At that time, not only flowers had specific meanings, but also leaves and fruit trees.

The royal family of France contributed to the prevalence of flower language. The nobles sorted out the flower knowledge scattered among the people and created the flower language with the information. Since then, the flower language has been reflected in the construction of the palace gardens.

The popular acceptance of flower language was in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, due to the social atmosphere, it was very embarrassing to express love in public. Therefore, the flowers presented between lovers became the messengers of love.

With the development of the times, flowers have become a social gift, and a more complete flower language represents the intention of the giver.

 

Story of Rose Language

 

What would you think of a red rose in bud? I guess you must have thought of love. There is a poignant story in this conventional language:

In ancient Greek mythology, Aphrodite fell in love with the beautiful boy Adonis.

One day, when Adonis was out hunting, he was bitten by a wild boar in the artery on his foot. The blood flowed continuously, and he fell to the ground.

When he fell to the ground he screamed long and loudly "Aphrodite--" Hearing the tragic call of his lover, Aphrodite rushed to rescue him.

 The stones and thorns in the forest cut her feet and hands, and blood dripped all the way. However, when she rushed to Adonis's side, he had shed all his blood. And she could not save her sweetheart after all. Aphrodite burst into tears, and when she cried, wherever her blood dripped along the way, clusters of beautiful red roses were blooming.

Since then, the red rose has become a symbol of unswerving love.

 When people give plant language, they are always with various stories. The story has a long history and is passed down from generation to generation. From the distant past, it has accompanied the development and progress of human civilization. Plants are the spiritual companion and material source of human beings. Despite the vicissitudes of life, they will never leave and join hands with people towards happiness and the future.
