I Love You Flowers

In Victorian times the tradition of sending flowers with hidden meanings grew in popularity. The hidden messages where not only related to specific flowers and their colours but also in the way they were presented. It was believed that to send roses with their thorns and leaves removed the message ‘there is nothing to hope or fear’ was conveyed; while a rose which is sent with leaves but all of the thorns removed is believed to say’ I am no longer afraid to reveal my feelings; I live in hope’. if it is this type of message you wish to send on Valentine’s Day be sure to have the thorns removed by the florist!
