We love flower shops. February is the month of love so to celebrate we are sharing 20 favorite flower shops around the world. Who doesn’t love giving and receiving blooms? But do you know the meaning and symbolism behind the florals you gift? The art of floriography was popular in Victorian England and the United States in the 19th century. Floriography, or the language of flowers, is the symbolism or meaning of flowers and bouquets allowing for the exchange of coded messages. For example, unsurprisingly, red roses symbolize true love but did you know a yellow rose could mean jealousy? Another example is jasmine means sweet love?
To learn more, here are two links about the meaning of flowers and plants from Almanac and Wikipedia. Or you could just let your favorite florist assemble a stunning bouquet for you! Following are 20 favorite flower shops that we love.
