The Language of Flowers

Image
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 !
