Rabat –  Floriography, known as the art of communicating through different flower types, has been a shared concept between many countries throughout Africa, Europe and Asia. 

However it gained popularity in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. 

In a society where strict social conventions often discourage the open expression of feelings, bouquets became discreet messengers, allowing people to convey emotions without words.

During the Victorian era in 19th-century Britain and France, the tradition of flowers reached its peak and led to the publication of several books such as “Le Langage des Fleurs,” published in 1819 by Louise Cortambert under the pen name Madame Charlotte de La Tour. 

Flowers carry different meanings within their symbolic aspect, which makes it worth consideration for a one who is willing to express a certain sentiment by gifting a flower. 

In other words, selecting a particular flower reflects a particular will, feeling, and perspective.
