THE
LANGUAGE AND SENTIMENT
OF
FLOWERS.
FLORAL RECORDS.
| HE flower world is linked with all
the finer sympathies of our nature.
The sweet blossoms that cover the
green wood are the delight of our childhood ;
a bouquet is the best ornament of girlish
beauty, the meetest offering from young and
timid love. Flowers deck the chamber of
old age, and are the last sad gift of sorrow
to the dead.
Who does not know that exquisite appeal
FLOWERS.
of Milton for their homage to his lost Ly-
cidas 1 We can never repeat it too often :
" Ye valleys low, where the mild whispers use
Of shades, and wanton winds, and gushing brooks,
On whose fresh lap the swart star sparely looks,
Throw hither all your quaint enamell'd eyes,
That on the green turf suck the honied showers,
And purple all the ground with vernal flowers ;
Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies,
The tufted crow-toe, and pale jessamine,
The white pink, and the pansy freak'd with jet,
The glowing violet,
The musk rose, and the well-attired woodbine,
With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head,
And every flower that sad embroidery wears ;
Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed,
And daffodillies fill their cups with tears,
To strow the laureat hearse where Lycid lies."
It has been objected that Milton's bouquet
was formed of flowers that bloom at different
seasons ; but we pardon the fault, if such it
be, in consideration of the beauty of the
passage, even as we forgive the artist who,
for effect of colour or sentiment, sometimes
in like manner oversteps the floral boundary
of possibility.
FLORAL RECORDS. II
Shakespeare, the High Priest of Nature,
has been truer to her laws in his most poetic
grouping of flowers, and has formed HIS
garland of blossoms that breathe the air at
the same period.
It is impossible to speak of flowers with-
out giving that unrivalled passage from the
"Winter's Tale," in which Perdita wishes
for those which had faded, before the golden
harvest came : —
" O, Proserpina,
For the flowers now that frighted thou lettest fall
From Dis's waggon ! daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty ; violets dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes,
Or Cytherea's breath ; pale primroses,
That die unmarried ere they can behold
Bright Phoebus in his strength. . . .
. . . . Bold oxlips and
The crown imperial ; lilies of all kinds,
The flower-de-luce being one ! "
Surely this is the most lovely bouquet that
poet ever wove ! though all have rendered
due homage to the flowers, from the little
daisy up to the sovereign rose.
12 THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.
The great poetic nation, Greece, gave a
human interest to these fair children of the
earth, and linked a legend of man's love, or
woe, or triumph, to every blossom.
It is also said that the Greeks understood
the art of sending intelligence by a bouquet ;
and it is evident, from the old Dream-book
of Artemidorus, that every flower of which
their garlands were composed had a parti-
cular signification. But we have no certain
knowledge of this ancient flower-language.
Amongst the chivalrous nations of the
north, flowers obtained a grander and bolder
significance. Nations assumed for their
badges, on many a hardly-contested field, the
tender darlings of the spring and summer;
and thus they became entwined with the
records of the world, and linked with the
memory of heroes.
The lowly Broom, worn on the knightly
nelmet of Geoffrey of Anjou, gave name to
the race of kings he sent to our island throne,
• — the great Plantagenets.
The Red and White Roses were assumed
FLORAL RECORDS. 13
as badges by the rival houses of York and
Lancaster, and led the tide of civil strife in
twelve deadly battles.
The " ROSE " became the badge of Eng-
land, and shares a nation's fame.
Scotland well expressed the patience, har-
dihood, and " retaliation " of her people when
she crowned the THISTLE.
Ireland preserved the memory of the holiest
truth in her SHAMROCK.
The LILIES of France worthily rivalled
the queenly Rose of England, and were a
war-cry of chivalry.
" Now by the lips of those you love, fair gentlemen of
France,
Charge for the golden lilies, upon them with the
lance."
And England long joined those " golden
lilies " with her own deathless rose, when
she was, like an eagle, " at prey " on her
neighbour's too-near coasts.
The VIOLET was the badge of the city of
Athens ; and the orators, when striving to
win the favour of the people, were wont to
14 THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.
address them as, " Athenians i crowned with
the Violet."
There was a most poetic fancy in the sen-
timent that linked this flower with the name
of Napoleon. Springing in obscurity, and
retaining its perfume in death, it was a won-
derful emblem of him who rose from the
valleys of Corsica to the throne of the golden
lilies, and whose name has been a spell of
power long after he ceased to breathe the air
of earth.
It remained for the East to give us a
language of perfume and beauty, by bestow-
ing a meaning on buds and blossoms ; though
the Turkish and Arabic flower-language does
not much resemble ours. It is formed, not
by an idea or sentiment originating in the
flower itself, but by its capacity for rhyming
with another word, i.e. the word with which
the flower rhymes becomes its significa-
tion.
La Mottraie, the companion of Charles
XII., brought the Eastern language of flowers
to Europe ; but it was the gifted Lady Mary
FLORAL RECORDS. 15
Wortley Montague who first told our country-
women how the fair maidens of the East had
lent a mute speech to flowers, and could
send a letter by a bouquet. Here is part of
a Turkish love-letter sent by her in a purse
to a friend. She says, speaking of this lan-
guage, " There is no colour, no flower, no
weed, no fruit, herb, pebble, or feather that
has not a verse belonging to it ; and you may
quarrel, reproach, or send letters of passion,
friendship, or civility, or even of news, with-
out even inking your fingers."
In her letter the following flowers are
employed : — •
JONQUIL. — Have pity on my passion.
ROSE. — May you be pleased, and all your sorrows
be mine.
A STRAW. — Suffer me to be your slave.
A pearl, a pear, soap ; cloth, hair, and gold
wire, were all pressed into the same service :
but as we have only to do at present with
flowers, we omit the meanings of the other
contents of Lady Mary's purse.
The European flower-language was utilized,
1 6 THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.
and almost formed, by Aime Martin ; and
the earlier works on the subject were only
translations or adaptations from the French :
but English writers have a good deal altered
and modified ' it since ; and as new flowers
come yearly to us from other lands, every
fresh vocabulary may contain additional words
or sentence, even as our own tongue grows
by grafts from other languages.
We have, in this little volume, added about
thirty new significant blossoms to the old
ones; and our fair readers will thus find "a
tongue " for the flowers which bloom in the
conservatory and greenhouse, as well as for
our old garden favourites, and will not be
condemned during the long winter months to
floral silence.

THE ALBANIAN LOVE-LETTER.
[IN exquisite invention this,
Worthy of Love's most honied kiss,
This art of writing billet-dcux
In buds, and odours, and bright hues.-
In saying all one feels and thinks
In clever daffodils and pinks,
Uttering (as well as silence may)
The sweetest words the sweetest way .
How fit, too, for a lady's bosom,
The place where billet-doux repose 'em !
How charming in some rural spot,
Combining love with garden plot,
At once to cultivate one's flowers,
And one's epistolary powers,
Growing one's own choice words and fancies
In orange tubs and beds of pansies ;
One's sighs and passionate declarations
In odorous rhet'ric of carnations ;
Seeing how far one's stocks will reach ;
Taking due care one's flowers of speech
To guard from blight as well as bathos,
And watering, every day, one's pathos 1

A letter comes just gather'd, we
Doat on its tender brilliancy ;
Inhale its delicate expression
Of balm and pea ; and its confession,
Made with as sweet a maiden blush
As ever morn bedew' d on bush ;
And then when we have kiss'd its wit
And heart, in water putting it,
To keep its remarks fresh, go round
Our little eloquent plot of ground !
And with delighted hands compose
Our answer, all of lily and rose,
Of tuberose and of violet,
And little darling mignonette ;
And gratitude, and polyanthus,
And flowers that say, * * Felt never man thus !

MODIFICATIONS OF THE FLOWER
LANGUAGE.
j] F a flower be given reversed, its original
signification is understood to be con-
tradicted, and the opposite meaning
to be implied.
A rosebud divested of its thorns, but retaining
its leaves, conveys the sentiment, " I fear no
longer ; I hope : " thorns signifying fears, and
leaves, hopes.
Stripped of leaves and thorns, the bud signi-
fies, " There is nothing to hope or fear."
The expression of flowers ,is also varied by
changing their positions. Place a marigold on
the head, and it signifies " Mental anguish ;" on
the bosom, " Indifference."
When a flower is given, the pronoun 7 is
understood by bending it to the right hand;
ut by inclining it to the left.
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 21
" Yes " is implied by touching the flower given
with the lips.
" No," by pinching off a petal, and casting it
away.
" I am " is expressed by a laurel-leaf twisted
round the bouquet.
" I have," by an ivy-leaf folded together.
" I offer you," by a leaf of the Virginian
Creeper.
To win — a sprig of parsley in the bouquet.
" May," or " I desire"— an ivy tendril round
the bouquet.
