A Tradition Rooted in History
Ancient Greece & Rome
Flowers were offerings to gods and goddesses, symbolizing devotion and beauty.
Romans gifted flowers during festivals and special occasions to express emotions without words.
Victorian England
The “Language of Flowers” (floriography) became popular, allowing people to communicate feelings through blooms.
Every flower had a hidden meaning—red roses for love, lilies for purity, and violets for loyalty.
Modern-Day Gifting
Flowers remain the go-to gift for celebrations, apologies, and moments of appreciation.
On Mother’s Day, they symbolize gratitude, love, and the beauty of motherhood.
