Although the following list is very complete, this vocabulary may be still enlarged by the addition of other definitions, the parties having an understanding as to what language the flower shall represent. Thus an extended and sometimes important correspondence may be carried on by the presentation of bouquets, single flowers and even leaves; the charm of this interchange of thought largely consisting in the romance attendant upon an expression of sentiment in a partially disguised and hidden language. Of course much of the facility with which a conversation may be conducted, thus, will depend upon the intimate knowledge possessed of the language of flowers and the variety from which to select. ILLUSTRATIONS. A declaration of feeling between a lady and gentleman may be expressed by single flowers, as follows: The gentleman presents a Red Rose-"I love you." The lady admits a partial reciprocation of the sentiment by returning a Purple Pansy "You occupy my thoughts." The gentleman presses his suit still further by an Everlasting Pea-"Wilt thou go with me?" The lady replies by a Daisy, in which she says-"I will think of it." The gentleman, in his enthusiasm, plucks and presents a Shepherd's Purse-"I offer you my all." The lady, doubtingly, returns a sprig of Laurel — "Words, though sweet, may deceive." The gentleman still affirms his declaration by a sprig of Heliotrope-"I adore you." The lady admits a tenderness of sentiment by the Zinnia - "I mourn your absence." LANGUAGE OF THE BOUQUET. A collection of flowers in a bouquet may mean very much. Thus a Rose, Ivy and Myrtle will signify "Beauty, Friendship and Love." A Bachelor's Button "Hope," and a Red Rose "Love," will indicate that "I hope to obtain your love." I DESIRE TO MARRY YOU. Jonquil-Linden. I HAVE SWEET MEMORIES IN MY SOLITUDE. Periwinkle-Heath. PRAY FOR ME IN MY ABSENCE. White Verbena-Wormwood. Thus longer and shorter sentences may be readily expressed by flower-language; and by agreement, if the variety of flowers is not sufficient, a change of definition may be given the more common blossoms and plants, whereby the language and correspondence may be conducted without inconvenience. |
