IN early XVIII century, with the light hand of the Swedish king Charles II, who “brought” this science from Persia. Floral dictionaries were popular, which told about the meanings of different flowers and the art of arranging bouquets. Did you know, for example, that with the help of a gifted bouquet you can confess your love or ask for forgiveness for mistakes?

So, white flowers mean innocence, yellow And pink- a hint of love, bright red- passionate love, blue- devotion, purple or purple- peace and trust, black- a wish for death (I hope it won’t occur to anyone to present them)…
Now let's see what flowers the bouquet consists of.

Everyone knows what roses mean. Did you know that the color of roses is also very important and can either make a surprise or, conversely, ruin a relationship?
The custom of giving flowers is always gallant and romantic. For those who are shy or unsure of themselves, giving a bouquet is the easiest way to express your feelings.
Ancient myths, biblical stories and legends - in all of them you can find words about the meaning of flowers. At the beginning of the 18th century, King Charles II of Sweden introduced new language, having visited Persia and learned the eastern “language of flowers”. Floral dictionaries were published throughout the 18th century, telling the secrets of lilies and lilacs, and individual chapters were devoted to arranging bouquets.
The more popular a flower is, the more meanings it has. The greatest burden falls, of course, on the roses.
Some would say we've long since moved on from Victorian days - email makes it as easy to woo a loved one miles away as if they were in the same room. But, on the other hand, it seems that we have lost contact with the earth.
The only flower whose meaning is always clear today is the rose. Yes, communication with the whole world has expanded globally, but the choice of flowers that are given has been reduced to almost one flower.
So, if you want to tell someone else how you feel, expand your freedom of choice from large quantity meaningful bouquets. After all, flowers are much more than just a letter to e-mail, and they look much more beautiful on the table.
Roses deserve the title of the oldest flowers grown by humans; they grew 5,000 years ago in gardens in the East. The wild rose is much older - the remains of roses date back to the appearance of 35 million years ago. Roses are now sold in the millions, which shows that this beautiful flower has truly stood the test of time.
The ancients explain the beauty of the rose by the fact that it was created by the gods. Greek goddess Cloris accidentally stumbled upon a dead nymph and turned her into a flower, Aphrodite added beauty, brightness, joy and charm. Dionysus filled it with fragrant nectar, and the western wind Zephyr swelled the clouds so that Apollo could water the rose in the sunlight. The flower was then named the “Queen of Flowers” and given to the god of love, Eros.
The Romans have their own ideas about the origin of the rose. According to their legend, there lived a beautiful girl named Rodanthe. She had many fans, but she didn't like them. These young people were so full of love and desire that one day it came to the point that they broke down the doors of her house and rushed inside. This story greatly angered the goddess Diana, who turned the girl into a flower and her fans into thorns to teach them a lesson.
Whatever the origin of the rose, this flower is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of beauty and love.
Each of us remembers that the different colors of roses symbolize certain feelings that we experience for the one to whom we give them. However, there are so many interpretations of rose colors that it is very difficult to remember them the first time.
The red rose is a symbol of love and passion. However, if you give it to a subordinate or business partner, then it expresses approval of a job well done or respect.
A dark burgundy rose is a rose that is usually given to representatives of the older generation. This is the color of “unconscious” but unfading beauty.
A pink flower is a traditional gift for a young girl. It denotes youth and its inherent modesty.
In addition, it symbolizes trust, tenderness and grace. Giving such a flower to a girl who attracts you means starting a relationship between you and hinting about your feelings.
However, pink can have another meaning, depending on the color saturation. So, dark pink means gratitude and appreciation, and light pink means sympathy and admiration.
You can safely present a white rose to a very young lady. But creamy white is the color of a wedding bouquet. It symbolizes happy love.
It is a mistake to think that yellow roses have a negative interpretation. In fact, yellow is the color of friendship and joy. These flowers look great in any floral arrangement.
An orange or coral rose is a great way to express enthusiasm and desire for a goal.
A tea rose will also tell you about your romantic feelings, a musky rose will express your admiration, and a centifolia rose is another way to confess your love. All light roses usually symbolize friendship.
Roses in buds, given in a bouquet, symbolize beginning, innocent love. The buds of red and pink roses say: "You are young and beautiful", unbloomed white roses mean: "You are too young for love."
For the first declaration of love, use light green roses.
If two buds are attached to a blooming rose, then some kind of secret must be seen in this message.
Two roses tied together are an invitation to a date, and they also mean anticipation of marriage.
Roses in the form of a wreath are a symbol of chastity. Since ancient times, rose wreaths at weddings have symbolized purity.
Rose foliage signifies hope and optimism.
The number of roses also plays in the language of flowers important role. Thus, a single rose is a symbol of modesty; One red rose is a well-known way of declaring love. To invite someone on a fun date, a red rose is given in a bouquet, usually accompanied by two yellow roses.
The combination of white and red flowers in a bouquet signifies your agreement and unanimity. The combination of red and yellow is your sincere “Congratulations!” A rose in full bloom with two buds exudes mystery.
If the roses have leaves, then this is a symbol of reliability; if you tear them off, then the bouquet will say that, alas, there is no more hope.
But if you cut off the thorns, you will assure the person to whom you are giving the bouquet that he has nothing to be afraid of around you.
The language of flowers appeared in the East, in particular in Turkey. In this country there was a system that made it possible to reproduce a poetic line that spoke of feelings using one word. As keywords plants often appeared. The system was called selam. It became the basis for the emergence of the “language of flowers” in European culture, which was very popular in late XIX V. Skills in such a language began to fade by the middle of the 19th century. In our country, a surge of interest in entertaining floral cryptography arose relatively recently - at the end of the 20th century. Therefore, it is worth returning to the original sources - the books that served as reference books on the language of flowers in early XIX centuries
Floral language, like any other, has changed over time and adapted to the conditions in which it was used - after all, each locality has its own favorite flowers. Sometimes the symbolism of the flower changed and did not coincide with its original eastern interpretation. For example, phlox had two interpretations - it could mean submission and consent, but at the same time it was a symbol of fiery passion.
- a science that reveals the meaning and symbolism of various flowers and plants. Simply put, it is the language of flowers, with the help of which they express ideas, feelings, and moods.
During the Victorian era, the language of flowers was very helpful in cases where feelings could not be spoken openly, but required secret expression. Floral arrangements were created from fresh flowers (plants), wreaths, bouquets, and multi-colored objects or painted objects were used. Not only flowers were involved in the language, but also their arrangement, even the tilt of the flower mattered.
These flower dictionaries have come to us; they tell in detail about the meaning of many plants.
In Russia, the popularization of the language of flowers is associated with the name of the poet and translator Dmitry Petrovich Oznobishin, who published the Persian book “Selam, or the Language of Flowers” that he translated into Russian. This book described more than 400 plants, each of which had a specific word or phrase. The book was quite popular, of course, primarily among young people.
Nowadays, when giving a bouquet that carries such a message in the language of flowers, you risk remaining misunderstood. Perhaps you should include a short “flower phrase book” with your bouquet? You can include a book on the language of flowers with your gift so that your flower letter can be deciphered. Or simply complement your greeting card with an interpretation of some of the meanings of the language of flowers.

It is believed that the number of flowers in a bouquet has a certain meaning: one flower is a sign of attention, three is respect, five is recognition, seven is love...
The most important thing to be guided by when choosing flowers is, of course, the tastes of the person for whom you are choosing a bouquet. How to recognize them? Give flowers more often, and sooner or later, you will definitely hit the mark!
Language of flowers
Flowers ennoble our lives, caress the eye, giving people joy, softening morals, bringing peace and pleasure. And giving flowers means expressing feelings of love, respect, affection or respect. There is no doubt that when presenting a bouquet, you want to be sure that you have made the right choice. And if you have composed a bouquet, taking into account the meaning of the flowers, it will turn into a very valuable gift...
At the beginning of the 18th century, King Charles II of Sweden introduced a new language to Europe, having visited Persia and learned the eastern “language of flowers.” Floral dictionaries were published throughout the 18th century, telling the secrets of lilies and lilacs, and individual chapters were devoted to arranging bouquets. The language of flowers was very popular in both France and England during the time of Queen Victoria.
The more popular a flower is, the more meanings it has. The greatest burden falls, of course, on the roses. This flower is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of beauty and love. Everyone knows that red roses mean "I love you." Less is known about the meaning of the colors and types of roses. Red and white in one bouquet mean unity, pink means grace and elegance, and yellow means pleasure or the joy of communication. Orange or coral roses will indicate your desire. Dark red or burgundy will tell your beloved that she is incredibly beautiful. Pink roses mean “beloved - beloved, dear - dear, dear - dear”, so they are good to say this to both a man and a woman. A single rose signifies modesty and is a good gift when you are short on money. If you are old enough and your intentions are serious, do not give a bouquet of roses and rosebuds: the former mean that you are in the heaven of love, and the latter - that you are too young for love.
If you want to deviate a little from tradition, or "I love you" is not what comes to mind when you think of your lover, perhaps you need something other than a rose. Several flowers play the same role as the rose: red chrysanthemums, tulips or carnations also say “I love you”. Daisies will compliment the beauty of your beloved, and elegant lily flowers mean that this beauty is simply irresistible. But lilac can only be given once, because it is believed that it belongs to first love. Gardenia is for the timid and timid, as it expresses hidden love that is not spoken about. Violets express affection.
Dogs are indispensable for expressing negative emotions. Daffodils, the flowers of self-love, will help you make fun of vanity. Give them with petunia, which expresses irritation and indignation. Large flowers of marigolds (marigolds) will indicate your jealousy, while small ones will indicate your support for your loved one so that he does not despair.
Nowadays, it cannot be said that many people use the language of flowers to explain themselves. Most people don’t even know what a gifted bouquet can tell. And yet, if you want to be original, be creative when choosing a bouquet. And along with the flowers, give your beloved a “translator” of the language of flowers." Let her then, at her leisure, figure out what you wanted to tell her!
The meaning of color, shape, quantity in colors
A bouquet is not only beautifully decorated flowers, but also a way to express a person’s feelings or thoughts. The language of flowers is no less expressive than any other. Color, shape, quantity, design of flowers can carry a huge meaning...
Each flower and its color has its own meaning. Likewise, the number of flowers in a bouquet speaks volumes. Give one, three or five, just not two or four.

1 flower- You are all I have!
3 flowers- I want to go with you to the ends of the world.
5 flowers- I love you!
7 flowers- traditionally given on the day of engagement.

Find out your character by the bouquet
Violets are a symbol of romantic sadness. A violet lover is most often an introvert. He does not necessarily look melancholic or a complete pessimist, but he is probably withdrawn and deep down he experiences unaccountable anxiety. The violet connoisseur usually hides in the shadows, but is always ready to step into the sun and take what is due to him. The choice of violets can also be dictated by a nostalgic mood, longing for a lost or unattainable ideal. In any case, violets prefer subtle, sublime natures, often sentimental, dreamy and prone to idealizing the past.
~~~~~~~~~
Lilacs and wildflowers are preferred by people who are restrained in their expressions of feelings and who are alien to any pretentiousness and exaltation. However, this external severity can also be the other side of sick pride. In unfavorable circumstances, they can withdraw into themselves, isolate themselves from life, are often disappointed and seek perfection in the wild. In some ways, lilac lovers are similar to violet lovers: they are refined natures, with a rich inner world and a deep anxiety that they are hardly aware of. They often lack energy and drive in achieving their goals. Diligent. A lilac lover enjoys helping others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tulip. This elegant glass on a thin stem is a flower of amazingly flexible and plastic natures. They don't bend under pressure life difficulties, they have a strong energy potential. “Tulip” is easy to talk to, but no one knows his true plans and intentions - for all his apparent simplicity, he is a man of mystery. One thing is obvious: in the depths of the soul of each of the tulips there lives hope for better life. And this unquenchable faith gives them the strength to steadfastly endure the hardships of life and, for the time being, be content with little. A woman who loves this flower is energetic. Big conceit. It takes a lot of effort to get her recognition. Such women, as a rule, have unhappy husbands.
~~~~~~~~~~~
It is no coincidence that lilies became an element of royal heraldry. Among people, “lily” also feels like a queen. In any case, these flowers are loved by people with a strong sense of self-esteem, confident in themselves and their own abilities. They are energetic, proud, sometimes even arrogant and arrogant. There is some subtle charm about it. Refinement of nature. Among negative qualities Lilies can be noted for their disregard for the opinions of others - lilies lack self-criticism, but have an abundance of self-confidence. By the way, such people should be prone to masquerade, deception, and flirting.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Roses are close to the hearts of active, confident and self-sufficient people. They know how to love themselves and give love, since this flower is the most famous symbol of beauty and love. With its entire appearance, the rose expresses harmony and tranquility. These are the fans of roses - people with a stable psyche and a generally stable life. They stand firmly on their feet, do not chase the impossible and exist in the real world, where they value comfort and the established order of things. Among rose lovers there are many ambitious, assertive and somewhat aggressive people. In any case, the rose will always be able to stand up for itself and will not miss its goal. But these are, of course, people with bright manifestations, extraordinary, strong-willed and passionate. Rose causes understandable envy among others. Intrigues are being woven against Rosa, they want to survive her from her rightful place and deprive her of her bonus. Rose is unapproachable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloves are very ambiguous. On the one hand, this is a protocol, official flower. It is often preferred by masters of diplomacy and formal communication, who carefully hide their essence. On the other hand, there is something seductive in the appearance of the carnation, with its dense thin stem and flirtatious carved inflorescence. So among lovers of these flowers there are often clever manipulators who know how to extract maximum benefits from communication. A person with a character as direct as Carnation’s is worth looking for. Others do not like this property at all. But alas, Carnation stands her ground, even if the power is not on her side. Carnation can also be dear to the hearts of down-to-earth people who do not burden themselves with abstract speculation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In our conditions we see an orchid torn out of its natural environment: it is often even devoid of a stem and hidden in a plastic box. This exoticism attracts natures that are certainly complex and original, with oddities and whims. They do not know how to get pleasure through simple, accessible means and look for sophistication in everything. Perhaps this is a consequence of deep dissatisfaction with life.
Gerberas. This sculptural and simple flower, with its open and trusting cup, really expresses kindness, simplicity and openness to the world. The flip side of this childish openness is insecurity. At the same time, gerberas strive for perfection in everything, and coupled with their inability to adapt, this sometimes results in stubbornness. Love for the dense sculpting of a gerbera, for the peace expressed in its figure, can mean fear of life and the search for solid support.
Irises and gladioli represent energy, strength and loneliness. Iris lovers strive with all their might towards a goal or subordinate their lives to specific desires. But often their contact with others is disrupted, and their desires come into conflict with reality. Hence the misunderstanding of loved ones, which brings them pain. These proud people lack flexibility, but they do not humble themselves and continue their lonely path. Bulb connoisseurs are hardworking and diligent. At the same time, they can easily achieve desired results and head large firms and companies.
Peony is controversial. On the one hand, it is a symbol of vanity. On the other hand, timidity and bashfulness. Unsatisfied passion or suppressed sexuality is the lot of many peony lovers; others, on the contrary, are very loving. The latter are distinguished by insatiability in everything - from the love of wealth and fame to greed for life in general. Chrysanthemum. The craving for perfection makes it similar to the gerbera. But she is characterized by seriousness, cold detachment and a passion for self-examination.
Chrysanthemum isolates itself too much from life, withdraws into itself, so it can be difficult to understand and love, as always happens to people who do not know how to love themselves.
Flowers are the best intermediaries in communication between people. Flowers accompany us constantly throughout our lives, giving us joy, personifying love and attention. People often resorted to their tender, confidential, romantic language. As we know from history, the “language of flowers” originated in Constantinople in the 17th century, and in Europe they learned about it in 1716 thanks to Lady Mary Wortley Montel, who visited Turkey. In 1930 Russian poet D.P. Oznobishin translated from Persian and published the book “Selam or the language of flowers” in St. Petersburg. In the book, he described about 400 plants and each had a corresponding conventional meaning. Basically, the symbols and meanings of colors reflected generally accepted associations, but often they were far-fetched and fictitious.

Oznobishin's book was very popular among young people. Young people, knowing the meaning of flowers and plants, could talk about their feelings in their language. The tender, sensitive, poetic soul of the Russian people has always been clear and deeply in tune with inseparable spiritual values - nature, beauty, art. Flowers, bouquets, and floral ornaments were cast in bronze, plaster, and glass were cut out of wood and marble. They were actively used by architects and interior decorators. They “bloomed” magnificently in other forms of art: still lifes with flowers by I. Khrutsky, bouquets by K. Korovin and Levitan, etc. appeared in painting. The theme of flowers sounded in music: “Waltz of the Flowers” in P. Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker”, enchanting symphonic picture of nature - dawn on the Moscow River by M. Mussorsky, etc. In nature and poetry, flowers have served as a rich source of comparisons.
