Communication using flowers

 I appreciate all florals.

From several years ago and I am still intrigued by the meaning of Flowers. Fond memories of a book come to mind about how the meanings have changed over the years and how messages were communicated through flowers in years past: "The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
