Hello and welcome to Petal Republic. The same goes for red carnations. This meant that they had access to non-native plants that can be harvested for flower messages. Their delicate color and shape let that special someone know that you find them beautiful and desirable.
Sadly these days only a few examples remain as museum exhibits.
The white daisies and black eyed susans cheer me every Spring when I drive out in the country and remind me of easier times as a kid when we were happy to have wildflowers to pick for a vase on the kitchen table.When they moved the house to a new location to make room for a swimming pool for the motel they rolled it on big logs cut in their own woods and the vase of flowers on the kitchen table did not spill. This resulted in the establishment of floriography cryptological communication through flower arrangement.
These dramatic blooms meant thank you for understanding to the Victorians.
