The Language of Flowers
I've started a series of ACEO's (tiny 2.5 X 3.5 inch paintings to sell or trade) based on The Language of Flowers. I recently read a novel by that name, and found out that in Victorian times, each flower had a special meaning and people would communicate a secret message to each other using flowers.
Here is a link to the novel The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and also to A Victorian Flower Dictionary.
The series so far:
Tulip ~ Declaration of Love
Daisy ~ Innocence
Pink Rose ~ Grace
Chinese Lantern ~ Meditation
Thistle ~ Misanthropy
More to follow.
Oh, and you can purchase these in my Etsy store!
