Fabulous, mysterious color of colors. How often they were resorted to him, and sending secret messages, and admitting hidden feelings, and even forward urgent deposits.
In Europe, this language got into early XVIII Century, thanks to the notes of two persons: Aubre de la Mottray and Lady Mary Wortley Montague. The first described his stay at the court of the King of Sweden Charles XII in Turkey in the twotime "Travel ... in Europe, Asia and Africa" \u200b\u200bin 1727.

Floral dictionaries were published throughout the XVIII century, talking about the secrets of lily and lilac, and his individuals were devoted to the preparation of bouquets. The language was very popular in France and in England during the times of Queen Victoria.
But the flower language was born - floriography - in the east, and created his women. Explosive communications that do not dare often to open faces, they communicated, making up bouquets and sending them to the addressee.
The emerged once association gradually turned into persistent symbols, thanks to which it was possible to conduct a conversation. It was considered important when the flowers were brought, as the donaker holds a bouquet, inflorescences up or down, in the left or right hand, whether the bouquet was decorated with leaves and loose spikes at roses.
There are customs and prejudices for painting petals. A special relationship, of course, to yellow color, flower treason and infidelity. In one of the eastern legends it is said that red roses exposed the wrong wife of some Sultan, yellowing right in her hands. But in the culture of Japan, yellow color is a symbol of light and the sun, and give yellow flowers to people who want light and good. Orange color symbolizes strength, power, pride. BUT blue flowers They talk about longing, loyalty, and to give them accepted by the army. Solemn purple - Friendship sign, and green - calm and peace. Neutral white color - a symbol of purity, tenderness, sadness and mourning, as well as in some other countries. In China, women's loyalty symbolized the garden flowers, and the wrong wives are fields that any passers-by.

Flower language
Flowers find our lives, caress the gaze, giving people with joy, softening morals, bring calm and pleasure. And give flowers - it means to express the feelings of love, respect, location or respect. It is indisputable that, presenting a bouquet, you want to be sure that you made an unmistakable choice. And if you made a bouquet, given the value of the colors, it will turn into a very valuable gift ...
At the beginning of the XVIII century, the King of Sweden Karl II introduced into Europe new LanguageHaving been in Persia and navigate the East "color language". Floral dictionaries were published throughout the XVIII century, talking about the secrets of lily and lilac, and his individuals were devoted to the preparation of bouquets. There was a language of colors and in France and in England, the times of Queen Victoria in England.
The more popular flower, the more values \u200b\u200bit has. The greatest cargo is coming, of course, on roses. This flower is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of beauty and love. Everyone knows that red roses mean "I love you." It is less known about the meaning of the colors and species of roses. Red and white in one bouquet know unity, pinks mean grace and elegance, and yellow - pleasure or joy of communication. Orange or coral roses will tell about your desire. Dark red or burgundy will say your beloved that it is insanely beautiful. Pink roses mean "Favorite - Favorite, dear - dear, cute - dear," therefore it is well suited to say about it and a man and a woman. Single rose means modesty, and good for a gift when you have little money. If you are quite an adult and your intention is serious, do not give a bouquet of roses and pink buds: the first mean that you are in the heavens of love, and the second is that you are too young for love.
If you want to retreat a little from the tradition, or "I love you" is not what comes to mind when you think about your lover, perhaps you need something else than a rose. Several colors play the same role as Rosa: red chrysanthemums, tulips or carnations also say "I love you." Daisy will make a compliment of the beauty of your sweetheart, and the elegant lily flowers that this beauty is simply irresistible. But lilac can only be given once, because it is believed that it belongs to the first love. Gardenia - for timid and frivolous, because it expresses the hidden love, which is not said. Violets express affection.
To express negative emotions, the dogs are indispensable. Magnifying the vanity will help daffodils, flowers of self-love. Give them with Petunia, which expresses irritation and indignation. Large flowers of marigolds (velvetsev) will tell about your jealousy, while small - about your support for your beloved so that he does not despair.
Nowadays it is impossible to say that many use the language of colors to explain. Most do not even suspect that the presented bouquet can tell. And yet, if you want to be original, go to creative to choose a bouquet. And with flowers, give the favorite "translator of the" color language ". Let then at leisure hesitate what you wanted to say!

Learn your character on a bouquet
Violets symbol of romantic sadness. Lover of violets - most often introvert. It does not necessarily look like a melancholic or finished pessimist, but surely closed and in the depths of the soul experiencing a clear alarm. The violent connoisseur usually hides in the shade, but always ready to go out in the sun and take what he relies. The choice of violets can be dictated by a nostalgic mood, longing for the lost or unattainable ideal. In any case, violet prefers thin, elevated, often sentimental, dreamy and prone to idealization of the past.
~~~~~~~~~
Lilac and wildflowers prefer discreet in manifestations People who are alien to any personality and exaltation. However, this outer rigor can be the revolving side of patient pride. In adverse circumstances, they can get into themselves, to burn out of life, are often disappointed and seeking perfection in the wild. In something, the sinrehels are similar to violet lovers: this is a sophisticated nature, with rich inner world And the deep alarm, which they hardly realize. They often lack energy and pressure in achieving goals. Diligent. Lilac lover with pleasure helps others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tulip. This elegant glass on a fine leg is a flower of amazing flexible and plastic natures. They do not bend under the pressure of vital difficulties, they have a strong energy potential. "Tulip" is easy to communicate, but no one knows his true plans and ideas - with all its apparent simplicity, this is a mystery person. One obvious: in the depths of the soul of each of the tulips lives hope for best life. And this restless faith gives them the power steady to endure the lifestyle and until time to be content with small. Woman loving this flower, energetic. Great self-conceit. You need to put a lot of strength to achieve recognition from her. Such women are usually unfortunate husbands.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilies have no coincidence in the element of the royal heraldry. Among the people "Lily" also feels Queen. In any case, these flowers love people with a bright sense of self-esteem, confident and own power. They are energetic, proud, sometimes even arrogant and arrogant. Nor there is some imperceptible charm. Sophistication of nature. Among the negative qualities of the lilies can be noted neglect of the opinion of the lilies - the lilies lack self-criticality, but in an excess of self-confidence. By the way, such people should be prone to masquerade, deception, flirting.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Roses are close to the heart of people active, confident and self-sufficient. They know how to love themselves and give love, as this flower is the most famous symbol of beauty and love. With all his appearance, Rosa expresses harmony and peace. Such and fans of roses - people with a stable psyche and in general, a stable life. They face their feet firmly, do not chase unable and exist in real worldwhere the comfort and established order of things are appreciated. Among the lovers of roses, many people ambitious and assertive and somewhat aggressive. In any case, standing for himself Rosa will always be able and will not miss her. But this is definitely people with bright manifestations, outstanding, volitional and passionate. Rose causes an understandable envy of the rest. Inrigue roses against roses, she wants to survive from her rightful place, to deprive the award. Rose is impregnable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carnation is very ambiguous. On the one hand, this is a protocol flower, official. It often prefers the Master of Diplomacy and Formal Communication, thoroughly hiding their essence. On the other hand, in the appearance of cloves, with its dense thin leg and coquetty carved inflorescence, there is something seductive. So among lovers of these colors, deft manipulators often encounter, able to extract the maximum benefits from communication. A person with such direct as a clove character is worth searching. This property does not like others at all. But alas, the carnation is on its own, even if the power is not on the side. The carnation is Mila and the heart of people landed, not loading themselves with abstract clarification.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Orchid in our conditions we see the eliminated from your natural environment: It is often even devoid of stem and hidden in a plastic box. This exotic attracts natural, of course, complex and original, with oddities and whims. They do not know how to enjoy simple, accessible tools and are looking for in all of the Guest. Perhaps this is a consequence of deep dissatisfaction with life.
Gerbera. In this sculptural and simple in the form of a flower, with his open-gullible cup really pronounced kindness, simplicity and openness to the world. The reverse side of this children's openness is insecurity. At the same time, gerbera strive for perfection in everything, and together with their inability to adapt it sometimes poured into reference. Love for tight modeling gerbera, to peace, expressed in her figure, may mean fear of life and search for solid support.
Irises and gladiolus are energy, strength and loneliness. Fans of irises struggle to go to the goal or subordinate their lives with specific desires. But often they have a violated contact with others, and desires enter the conflict with reality. Hence the misunderstanding of loved ones, which brings them pain. These gorders lack flexibility, but they do not humble and continue their lone path. Connoisseurs of bulbous hardworking and executive. At the same time, they can easily achieve the desired results and head large firms and companies.
Peony contradictory. On the one hand, this is a symbol of vanity. On the other hand and shame. Unfulfilled passion or depressed sexuality - the lot of many pionolubs, others, on the contrary, are very loving. The latter distinguishes insatiability in everything - from love for wealth and glory to greed to life in general. Chrysanthemum. The thrust to perfection relates her to Gerbers. But it is characterized by seriousness, cold-blooded removal and passion for self-digging.
Chrysanthemum is too complied with life, closes, so it is not easy to understand it and love it is not easy, as always happens to people who themselves do not know how to love themselves.
Flowers are the best intermediaries in dealing between people. Flowers accompany us constantly during the life, give joy, personify love and attention.

As you know, from the history, the "language of flowers" was born in Constantinople in the XVII century, and in Europe they learned about him in 1716 due to the Lady Mary Wortley in Turkey. In 1930 Russian poet DP Oznobishin translated from the Persian language and published in St. Petersburg the book "Sememar or the language of flowers". In the book, he described about 400 plants and each corresponded to the conditional meaning.

The book was perfectly illustrated, witty and caused to russian society Furior, breeding the salon love game "Flirt of Flowers".
The ladies and ladies of Pushkin Powder, along with French and English, with pleasure, studied a new language. So in the arsenal of Russian coquette, another murderous admission appeared.

Using the language of the colors, this phrase can be interpreted as follows: "I have a desire, I dream about the fleeting of the happiness of love, but I have to hide my secret sensitivity under mossture, in order to hide the alarm and anxiety." So I understand what a woman wants.
Everything comes and leaves and to eND XIX. A century culture of ownership of the color of the colors began to fade. The stormy twentieth century pushed him into the past. Now he is understandable to a narrow circle of specialists - historians and art historians. But this does not mean that people fought flowers. Flowers continued and continue to decorate a person's life as before. And let the phrase of Patrick O'Kef "Tell it with flowers!" - Only an advertising trick. Let there be a language of SMS messages in fashion today. But if a person with whom you are accustomed to call back and rewrite, suddenly when meeting gives you a rose, then ... then it is a completely different matter.
Getting bouquets of colors is also nice how to give them. And make bouquets? B Past with the help of colors, people passed entire messages that could not or could not express words. In the old days, bouquets were formed in a clear matching with the language of colors.

"Flowers"
By type, persons and years
Flowers in your garden I have:
Innocence give lile
Mac - sleepy shrill husbands,
Fragrant lily of the field
Friends of humble Lisa poor,
Narcissus is unhappy and pale -
Handsome engaged in themselves.
Evil vehiclers and talkers
I meet the bell;
In the shadow, I close
For cute rose without spikes.
The flower language originated in the east. It is with the help of colors Eastern beauties told about their mood and feelings. Europe learned about an amazing language only in the 18th century after published in 1763 letters of the wife of the British ambassador in Istanbul Lady Mary Wortley Montague.

The color of the colors, the presence of spikes and even the state of the flower was also paid. So, for example, a rose bud meant a young innocent girl who had not yet known the joy of love, and Rosa was a symbol of lost his youth, joy, happiness and beauty, and sometimes even death.

A bad tone was believed if a young unmarried girl decorated herself with bright red flowers.
Love messages in colors
There were times when the presence of a love lover did not confuse anyone, but on the contrary confirmed her popularity. The letter, like diaries, was considered unreliable, as they could not be in those hands and become public the public. Because many famous people Just burned their letters and diaries. If the love correspondence was stored, then the return of letters was considered the rule of good tone in the event of a break.
Flowers or flower was reliable and practical in this regard. Then it was easier to keep the flower that had a sense for lovers. He was pulled out of a bouquet (if suddenly there was a bouquet, because small bouquets could be kept entirely) and dried, and then they were inserted into the book, casket, another intimate place.
It was extremely important, and special attention was paid to this in the past: by whom and when the flowers were brought, as a donor holds a bouquet, in which hand and how to give the addressee (up or down inflorescences), from which colors a bouquet consists of; And on the details: fresh bouquet or fading, loose spikes with stems.
The color of the colors was not unequivocal and the more strict. The same flower in different countries And the estates could be endowed with a different meaning. Also it was popular from lovers to come up with their own, only by them one understandable floral language. And then the secret did not become explicit ...
Insulting flowers
In the gallant age and later in the 19th century, the flower language was used with might and main in the European courtyards and in the salons. But those who think that the language of colors (yes, and a fan) was used as a language for a conversation. I mean the language itself, which we use in the everyday act of communication, and not the salon games of those years, where with the help of the tablets it was possible to lead a conversation, as, for example, deaf-and-and-dumb signs of gestures, with which they really talk to each other .
The language of colors was important and necessary for the transfer of feelings, mood, degree of love, respect, and so on. Moreover, the flower language was a social necessity, since "... It gives the full opportunity to be ready to fit the sting of ridicule and reflect the dulp of the progress, which<…> Would you like to bring you a bouquet of flowers, the value of which at all would not agree with your age, nor with your dignity, or concluded an explicit hint of anyone offensive for you "(" SUSHILL LIFE AND ETIETY ", 1901)
That is, to give a bouquet of a married lady, in which the orange flowers would be a symbol of innocence - it would be insulting, but precisely because of his meaning Fleur-D-Orange was the main flower in the bride bunch of those years. By the way, this tradition remained in aristocratic and royal homes: young brides go with a bouquet of orange colors.
In everyday life of ordinary people, there was also some idea of \u200b\u200bthe symbolism of colors, but less deep, not always relevant and lost connection with the connotations of our ancestors. Oh, these red roses! So the guy can give a girl red roses and the girl will be happy to them and because it is a bright symbol, and because roses are now road! But it does not consider the symbolic prick of spikes. In the past, red roses were inappropriate, and white lilies were preferably for a gift for a gift. Despite the variety, these days the bouquets became monotonous. Who today will give a bouquet of violets or forget-me-not? And before was the usual thing.
Aleksandrov bouquets
The famous historical example of the language of flowers as a confusion symbol is the so-called Alexander bouquets in honor of the Russian Emperor Alexander I. These were big and small bouquets. Bolshish fastened to the Corsaud or inserted into the portbuettes, and small wore in her hair. The initial letters created from the colors of the names of which were in the name of the emperor Alexander, Ie Anemon (Anemone), Lilie (Lily), Eicheln (Justice), Xeranthenum (Amaranth), Accazzie (Acacia), Nelke (Carnation), Dreifaltigkeitsblume (Merry Eye , i.e. pansy), Epheu (ivy) and roze (rose).
Such bouquets were very popular in Russia and in Europe, especially after the victory over Napoleon. European aristocrats without these bouquets could not seem in society: it was a duty to decorate their toilet with symbolic flowers, so they were in the opera, on the ball and other secular meetings, including those on which were carried out in the presence of His Majesty.
Related bouquets of the names of the names were in love with a couple of couples, wearing a bride. In Love Cavalier could send the lady of his heart such a bouquet in front of the ball, theater, and the lady in the adoption of courtship inserted such a bouquet into his portbuette or just ignored the failure and came with another bouquet.
At the beginning of the XVIII century, with the light hand of the Swedish king Charles II, which "brought" this science from Persia. Floral dictionaries in which the values \u200b\u200bdescribed different colors and the art of drawing up bouquets. Do you know, for example, what through a presented bouquet can be confessed in love or ask for forgiveness for mistakes?
If you presented flowers, then, first of all, pay attention to their color. So, white Flowers mean innocence, yellow and pink - hint of love, bright red - Passionate love, blue - devotion, lily or purple - peace and trust, black - The desire of death (I hope, no one will be in mind to present them) ...
