 | Available On: Instructions no longer available | "Crossed Roses" Many floral dictionaries were published in the early 1800s, defining the language of flowers. These Victorian reference books explicitly documented the meaning of flowers, and extended to a flower's type, color, condition, and form of presentation. Victorian ladies studied these books with great enthusiasm, believing that flowers were an important form of communication. A "tussie-mussie," a tiny bouquet of fragrant flowers, was often assembled and offered to a person in celebration of friendship or an event - or as a simple "thank you!" Tussie-mussies were frequently bestowed as tokens of love. If you were to put together a tussie-mussie, what would you want it to express to another person? Think about it - and while you do, let's start making this month's spray of crossed roses. |
