Flowers often were sent to communicate feelings - especially those of love which were taboo to speak of in many situations. Below you'll find a collection of sites I've found on the Victorian Language Of Flowers.

Thank you for these resources! Just today I was in an antique store and I was thinking of you and that you would probably go crazy with all the Victorian postcards they had there. Now I'm going to see what all those things symbolize and maybe I'll buy a few.

Aww I bet they were beautiful! If you buy any I'd love if you'd send photos or scans of them to Victoriana!

I figured I might as well share all these sites I have on bookmark. They are the result of hours, and months of research. :)

Yes, you probably will, Teresa. I'm only through a portion of my links (Those are ones I haven't posted here) for my research.

The only difference is that I'm cramming this research all in before November!
