What is My Birth Flower & What It Says About Me

A Brief History of Birth Flowers

Remnants from ancient Rome, birth flowers were used in birthday celebrations and as gifts to the gods. Early Victorians used floral symbolism as a subtle form of communication between prospective lovers. Seemingly minor details such as how ribbons were tied or which hand was used to present the bouquet conveyed different hidden meanings. While such conventions hardly feature anymore, flowers remain relevant in modern society and express deep sentiments.
