Floriography - Iris & Stargazer Lily

-

 


The Floriography craze was introduced to Europe by two people: Englishwoman Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762), who brought it to England in 1717, and Aubry de La Mottraye (1674–1743), who introduced it to the Swedish court in 1727.

During the Victorian era and earlier bouquets were sent with specific flowers to send messages to the receivers. Specifically lovers - they  could not speak to each other privily so to express their love, flowers were sent back and forth. You could also send flowers to congratulate births, anniversaries, celebrating achievements and the wedding bouquet. 

A wedding bouquet is considered to bring happiness and satisfaction in marriage, while the ribbon with which the bouquet is tied symbolizes fellowship. A tradition of wearing decorations (usually made of the same flowers) on a groom's lapel first appeared in the Middle Ages.

Floriography is the language of flowers. 


Let’s learn the language of flowers so we can also understand why we appreciate and grow lots of them! 



Iris - Good News

perennials plants, growing for rhizomes that need to be split every couple of years. Iris grows really well in arid mountain, areas. I grew purple and blue iris while living in Colorado. Beautiful plants. Iris flowers have been symbols for flags, banners, the fleur de lis  is the emblem for the house of Capet. 

 

IRIS daughter of Thomas and the ocean nymph Electra & is the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of the Olympian gods. ... For the coastal-dwelling Greeks, the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning the distance between cloud and sea, and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea.


Here are two other flowers that can go in a bouquet with Iris - 

SunFlower - Health & Sunshine

Chamomile - Courage 

This Bouquet could be saying  - Congratulations on your good health & wellbeing! 


Stargazer Lily - Abundance

Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer. ... The 'Stargazer' lily was created in 1974 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder in California, to overcome this downward look. Woodriff called the new cross 'Stargazer', because the blooms faced towards the sky.


Here are two flowers that can go in a bouquet with StarGazer Lily -

Gladiola - Preparation

Astroemeria - Support


This bouquet could be saying - I wish you wonderful abundance, prosperity!

Disincarnates or Ghosts are beings who have died but have not left this Earth plane. Disincarnates love our children’s Light, a child’s light is bright and full of energy; the Disincarnate is attracted to light. If a disincarnate has attached itself to your child, his or her behavior can be so out of whack with what is considered normal it can lead him or her to taking some sort of drug to control the behavior or numb his or her outlook if you are not paying attention. Are you present? Are you paying attention? If you are present and aware you will realize your child is not being his or her normal self, look at your child or the person you are working with; you may feel or see a presence near them. If you do ask firmly, who are you and what do you want? You will feel or see activity around the person. Disincarnates will find a way to let you know. If you are Clairvoyant, you might see a disturbance in the child’s Energy Field. If you’re Clairaudient, y

The Three Maji & Angel Messages

  3 kings, 3 wisemen, 3maji - who were they?  Here is some pretty interesting history. I have included the video on this blog so you can watch it. Join the channel it is really informative, especially if you like history!   Let’s talk about Herod - Herods life was recorded everything he did, everywhere he went and the laws he upheld.  If there were Three kings who went to visit Herod it would have been a big event and chronicled by his scribes. That is a huge brag to be visited by three kings and there would have been events happening when the kings visited.  There is nothing in his history that says Herod ordered all the babies to be murdered because they might be the 'king of the Jews'.  I am not saying Herod was a nice guy. He was a ruthless politician. The land he ruled was also under Rome, during Julius Caesar’s lifetime. The Romans were all about writing their histories.  Now that we have got Herod down, let’s look at the beginnings of Christianity - there was ab
