Poignant petals

20.05.12

ON TUESDAY, as they do every Valentine's Day, romantics will descend on flower sellers in search of a single bloom: the red rose. For centuries, its crimson petals have been associated with passion — the stronger the affection, the deeper the hue of its petals — while the stages of its flowering were thought to parallel those of womanhood — rosebuds for a girl and full blooms for a woman in her prime.

Yet few realise that according to a centuries-old "language of flowers", the red rose is but one of myriad expressions of passion. Suitors throughout the ages have sent bouquets that, in their combinations of herbs, blossoms, colours and scents, articulated proposals, expressed sentiments, flattered, charmed and seduced. Once upon a time, the advertising slogan "Say it with flowers" had literal meaning. Imagine the enchantment of a posy that spells: camellia (my destiny is in your hands), lilac (first emotions of love), hollyhock (ambition), dahlia (dignity) and so on.
