According to historical data, the language of flowers was bornEast, or rather - in Turkey. His forefather was the Selam system, developed by Oriental women, who were trapped in a harsh social framework and did not have the opportunity to communicate. Selam is a system of symbols in which each object had its own meaning, and from their combinations sentences were written that carry the necessary information. Europe learned this secret language in 1727 from the travel notes of 2 travelers who visited Istanbul and learned about the lives of Muslim women.
Then, in the 18th century, the language of flowers, which was formany the only means of communication, was very common, and each bouquet was the carrier of information. Important was not only its composition and color scale, but also the time and method of offering (inflorescences up or down), the presence of leaves, thorns, etc.
