The "Language of Flowers"® is a timeless tradition that individual types of flowers and colors, impart special sentiments when presented to another person, for example: the red rose expresses "I Love You" and the pink rose...."Friendship". Dating as far back as early Chinese dynasties, the "Language of Flowers" has woven its mystique and romance throughout history. William Shakespeare used the "Language of Flowers" in much of his writing, including Aphrodite’s lovely beseechment of Ophelia in "Hamlet"..."there’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pray love...remember". In the Victorian era, over 200 books were written to embellish the "Language of Flowers". Queen Victoria spoke in "Language of Flowers" sentiments when describing the affairs of her daughter’s heart.
