The History of Flower Meanings – The symbolic language of flowers has been recognized for centuries in many countries throughout Europe and Asia. They even play a large role in William Shakespeare’s works. Mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese are peppered with flower and plant symbolism and for good reason. Nearly every sentiment imaginable can be expressed with flowers.The orange blossom, for instance, means chastity, purity, and loveliness, while the red chrysanthemum means “I love you.”
