Classic romance
MANILA, Philippines - For several millennia, flowers have been used to symbolize not just love, but fear, power and friendship. Egyptians used the Iris Blossom as an emblem of power as shown on the Sphinx of Giza. Names of flowers were used as symbolism in mythology, poetry and theater as far back as the Romans.
In the time of Queen Victoria, known as the Victorian era (1830–1905), there was great enthusiasm for everything botanical. Victorians even studied the language of flowers, called Florigraphy. The meanings of flowers in Florigraphy come from mythology, medicine and religion of past civilizations.
For Valentine’s Day, even in the era of cyberspace, flowers are still the most popular and widely known means of expressing one’s romantic intentions. The Flower Farm celebrates this romantic tradition with Classic Red Roses in a vase or bouquet. The Classic Red Roses mixed with delicate white Queen Anne’s lace symbolize a deep and pure love.
