The public ritual of giving flowers took place over a long period of time and dates back to the Middle Ages. The harsh restraints on courtship in those times led to the development of “flower languages.” Exchange of flowers would take place over weeks or months and it gave couples the ability to express themselves without others seeing, overhearing or interpreting. The “flower language” or “floriography,” allowed structured messages to be made such as refusals, acceptances, declaration of love, and dismissals. It enabled couples to express their feelings within the borders of a strict etiquette. So if you want to make a big noise in a loved ones heart without speaking a word, send them flowers on any of these days.
