Talk:Floriography

There many, many more flowers and possible meanings attached to them by by crazy Victorians, but I figured that about 70 would give some vocabulary and I wouldn't totally run out of ideas. Please add more as you see fit, and fix any botanical bodge jobs that have appeared (with the exception of the multiple appearances of Wolfbane aliases, that's in there for the tangy flavour.) Sources for these are all over the web, but the most scholarly one I found after I compiled my list and confirmed my suspicions that the originals were almost as arbitrary as mine.

The slim volume in question would basically resemble this work, with properly flattened and stylised images.
