History of Birth Flowers

Birth flowers have an interesting history. The earliest reference to the language of flowers is by the poet Christopher Smart, who first mentioned a language of flowers in Jubilate Agno, circa 1759-63. However, Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu, through her memoirs, introduced 18th century western culture to the concept of flowers assigned to each birth month.

Additionally, Victorians expressed feelings not considered proper to voice aloud by sharing ‘talking bouquets’.
