The Little Book of Floriography by Orange Hippo! Pdf

Revealing a world of secret messages contained within a single petal. Floriography – the language of flowers – is the ancient art of encoding hidden messages in the type, colour and arrangement of plants, allowing individuals to express emotions and sentiments that they may not be able to articulate through words. Featuring 100 of the most popular and available blooms from around the world, this beautifully illustrated gift book gives the botanical name for each plant, a description of its significance and place in folklore, and the story behind its meaning. It also reveals how floral symbolism has been used over the centuries in literature and art, from Hamlet's Ophelia handing out rosemary 'for remembrance' and pansies 'for thoughts', to Oscar Wilde urging his friends to wear green carnations as a subtle code for homosexuality. The idea that flowers have secret meanings would have been well understood by contemporary audiences – and we are seeing a revival of the practice today. From mimosa – which signifies chastity because its leaves close when touched – to the varied messages encoded within different colours of geraniums, Floriography offers a creative way to convey feelings and can add an extra layer of beauty and significance to a gift of flowers. The flowers in Kate Middleton's wedding bouquet signified love, happiness, gallantry and fidelity. If someone sends you a bouquet of hydrangea and lobelia, beware: they stand for heartlessness and malevolence.

Peribology by Bryan Sisson Pdf

Peribology seeks to discover the etymology of symbolism. If a gift is given in a distant future; and no one knows how to interpret the secret message, does the traditional meaning carry over subconsciously? Furthermore, does this symbolism unfold in the human experience in other ways? Peribology seeks to uncover secrets from bygone eras, and encourage those who are willing, to breathe life again into ye age-old, archaic Floriography. Peribology will set the stage for modern flower talk from these gathered sources and on-going research. Since scientific inquiry admonishes the old flower language, Peribology rationalizes meaning not on poetry, but on the natural effects nature's treasures have on the five senses and the human psyche. If you want to join the cause, we welcome you into the restoration movement we call Peribology, the modern flower tongue.

The Language of Flowers by Dena Seiferling Pdf

An adopted bumblebee learns the language of flowers from her floral family in this enchanting picture book, inspired by floriography, that celebrates one of nature's most important relationships. Deep within a magical meadow, some lonely flowers receive a very special gift: a baby bumblebee in need. The flowers name her Beatrice, they care for her and help her find her wings. And as she grows older, Beatrice learns the language of her floral family — messages of kindness and appreciation that she delivers between them. With each sweet word, the flowers bloom until the meadow becomes so big that Beatrice needs help delivering her messages and decides to set out in search of her own kind. But this little bee’s quest takes her beyond the safety of the meadow and into the dangerous swamp the flowers have warned her about, a swamp inhabited by strange plants with snapping jaws and terrible teeth . . . will these prickly plants let her pass? Could they just be in need of a little sweetness themselves? A gently fanciful tale of the miracle of pollination and the important relationship between flowers and bees, this sweetly affirming story, inspired by the Victorian practice of floriography, suggests the secret to flourishing is kindness and appreciation.

FLORIOGRAPHY by Abigail Trott Pdf

Floriography, commonly referred to as the "language of flowers," is the art of assigning various flowers, plants, and herbs symbolic meanings. This practice dates back to ancient time when messages and emotions were expressed through flowers. In the Victorian era, floriography gained popularity as a means of communicating emotions that were too private to express verbally, particularly for courtship and romantic purposes. Each flower has a special meaning, and a flower arrangement can convey a variety of meanings based on the type of flowers, their colors, and how they are arranged. It is a complex and nuanced art form since the language of flowers frequently contains hidden messages and subtle symbols. Throughout the Victorian era, floriography became widely used as a way of communication between lovers and friends. During this era, certain flowers had specific meanings and were used to represent various emotions. For example, a red rose was a symbol of romantic love, whereas a white rose symbolized purity and innocence. Lavender was believed to symbolize devotion and loyalty, and daisies were thought to represent childhood innocence and purity. These flowers were frequently used in bouquets and other floral arrangements that people gave to their loved ones as a way of expressing affection and admiration. While floriography has evolved to include new interpretations and meanings, it is still used today in many parts of the world. Flowers are still used to send messages in some cultures, while they are still utilized for religious or ceremonial purposes in others. For example, the chrysanthemum is a representation of the imperial family in Japan and is used in ceremonies and as a symbol of honor.
