Description
‘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, without ever inking your fingers’, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762)
A pretty photographic jigsaw which showcases a selection of 17 flowers and some of their hidden, symbolic meanings in the Language of Flowers, also called floriography. From clematis as a symbol for success and tulips for perfect love; to wisteria symbolising long life, and nobility suggested by magnolia. The British popularity of ascribing a secret language of meanings to flowers is sometimes credited to letters from Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762), who wrote home to England and explained the Turkish flower symbolism she had encountered. It was, though, in the Victorian era that the past time became a craze, with many books and guides published on the subject. The earliest entirely devoted to the topic was by French author Charlotte de la Tour, whose ‘La language des fleurs’ was published in 1819. Bright colours and sturdy, ribbon-cut board pieces made from recycled and FSC materials make this a delightful puzzle to piece together. Perfect to have blooms all year round and to ponder the Victorian fascination with making meaningful posies and bouquets.
