Impress that special someone by brushing up on the meaning and history of flower giving. We've outlined a bit of history on flower giving along with a list of some of the more common flowers and their meanings so that you can best express yourself through flowers.

Flowers were once part of lengthy courtships, dating back to the Middle Ages. This was a form of communication allowing couples to express themselves to one another without being overheard. Different types of flowers conveyed different messages, and how the flowers were delivered factored into the meaning as well.
