flowers

The Language of Flowers.

Flowers may be combined and arranged so as to express even
the nicest shades of sentiment.
If a flower is offered "reversed", its direct
signification is likewise reversed, so that the flower now
means the opposite.
A rosebud divested of its thorns, but retaining its
leaves, convays the sentiment, "I fear no longer; I hope."
Stripped of leaves and thorns, it signifies, "There is
nothing to hope or fear."
A full-blown rose placed over two buds, signifies
"Secrecy."
"Yes," is implied by touching the flower given to the
lips; "No," by pinching off a petal and casting it away.
"I am," is expressed by a laurel leaf twined around the
bouquet; "I have," by an ivy leaf folded together; "I
offer you," by a leaf of Virginia creeper.

COMBINATIONS.
Moss Rosebud and Myrtle.
A confession of love.

Blumensprache - http://membank.org/biosemiotics/blumensprache.html

    Early in the 19th century it was not unusual to express difficult messages by means
    of flower arrangements. A playful flower-symbology had first emerged toward the end
    of the 18th century, and it was revived a century later.

    Following are examples of this overwrought kode which modern readers 
    may find more amusant than ingenious. [for varianta b may access above url]





    varianta a:

• apricot branch: angel of your sex, i worship you!

• carnation: my bosom thrills in the rapture of longing.

• crown imperial: most adorable of your sex, goddess, i worship you!

• elder-blossom: you are becoming colder and colder.

• elm-leaf: our love must remain a secret.

• forget-me-not: give heed to what this little flower whispers!

• grapevine: move closer, and remain true to me.

• kale: explain yourself more clearly, if i am to understand you.

• lavender: your speech is puzzling.

• lilac: let us hurry to the altar, before our youth has passed!

• moss: your obstinacy drives me to despair!

• narcissus (white): frightful! would you destroy me completely?

• peppermint: why make so much fuss over trifles?

• poppy: as you are in bloom, let me rest on your bosom.

• snowdrop: purity of heart shines forth in your gaze.

• tobacco-flowers: you awaken feelings that slumber sweetly within me.

    The use of language is an evolutionary triumph that has made civilization possible,
    but the growth and use of language for communication by representations requires
    the prior preparation and shaping of brains by specific neurochemical mechanisms.
  
    Given the variable meanings that the same 'flower' can carry, 
    it may be desirable that both partners utilize the same kode.
