The Secret Victorian Language of Flowers

In the Victorian era, there were many restrictions when it came to social interaction. The language of flowers provided a more subtle and polite way to express how you truly feel.
Sorry if I sound a little off in this one, I'm just getting over being sick.

I’m a 45 year old construction worker, welder and maintenance technician. I’ve been gardening since I was a child and I love this content! More please! Ever since I saw the movie “I heard the bells “ my passion for gardening and decorative note writing has caught fire again…. My wife appreciates it a lot too!

Same here..

Fun video :=) I think we need to bring the floriography back not only is it just a nice mental image but for those of us like me who have trouble expressing ourselves it could be a big help :=). Also sending someone a wilted bouquet is the most passive-aggressive thing I've heard :=)

[@rachelw1076]

I love the idea of handing someone a dead bouquet, making eye contact without a word, and then immediately walking away 😄

[@maevependragon]

This is such a romantic notion. I love Victorian Flower Language!

[@soha4686]

I've, recently, been quite interested in the Victorian Era, but I'd just like to say this video is so very intriguing!

[@Historidame]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Agatha Christie has used this language in some of her books as clues.

[@SloanePaoPow]

Which of her books?

[@CozyShows]

So elegant, I do miss that era of poise 🌺

[@daisyyythefairyyy]

Omg i still use these secret language of flowers ive always loved flowers since i was a kid and when i found out flowers can have meanings I love putting then in poems and giving flowers

[@melissaconnellyjones2622]

Yellow roses have always been my favorites. Makes me sad that they have an unpleasant meaning.

[@Historidame]

I love yellow roses too! At least most people don't know about the meaning these days.

[@chocolatestrawberries4837]

Don't worry about it. The info on this is probably full of crap

[@rosannashe6313]

I love your channel!

[@Historidame]

Thank you! :)

[@steffipowell8950]

Rosemary and Thyme, the British show had an episode about floriography. Such a cool idea

Im here for UDG room 246

And the flower mongers laugh their way straight to the bank.

[@kittypurry4056]

Great

[@olgazhestkova9292]

What music is playing in the video?

[@Historidame]

There are multiple songs used. What is the timestamp of the one you're looking for?

[@Sarah28]

Can anyone please tell me the name of the song playing from 4:22 until the end?

[@Historidame]

It's Air by Johann Sebastian Bach

[@Sarah28]

Thanks for the answer! I think that's the name of the song playing before 4:22. I really enjoyed watching this video!

[@Historidame]

Whoops! My mistake. It's Serenade by Schubert@@Sarah28

[@Theturtleowl]

I remember the skit from Horrible Histories about this. Still think that a cactus is a great option so show that you dislike someone :)

[@user-jk2hb5qq8r]

I always loved the Victorien era . However I didnt know that women were not permitted to be outspoken or opinionated😮, I sire wpuld not fit on there!! 😮😅😂😅. I heard yellow rose stood for friendship and have often given them to friends, 😮😅😂😅

[@Historidame]

It seems like most flowers have different meanings depending on the book. 🤷‍♀ I've also heard about yellow roses for friendship. Maybe it's a more recent interpretation.
