Petals of Expression: Decoding the Language of Flowers
Saturday, October 26, 2024 | 2 - 3 pm
Discover the Victorian art of floriography in this engaging lecture, where flowers spoke volumes without a single word. We'll explore how blooms were used to convey secret messages, emotions, and intentions during the 19th century. Uncover the rich history and cultural significance of floral symbolism, from love notes hidden in bouquets to gestures of defiance. Whether you're a history lover or curious about the language of flowers, this lecture offers a deep dive into the poetic power of nature's most eloquent messengers.
