The Origin of Gifting Flowers
2

• One of the most popular gifts given is flowers.
• If we decide to gift our romantic partner
  something the first that comes in our to mind is
  a rose.
• There is a detailed symbology behind this. Rose
  is the flower of Venus, the Goddess of love and
  intimacy.
• Today this indication remains the same, gifting
  flowers means showing affection.
• Today, you can get a range of flowers from your
  local flowers and gift shops Dubai, to make your
  loved ones day beautiful.
• Now lets understand the origin of this culture.

Ancient era

• Practices of gifting flowers to express emotions
  have been performed since the Egyptian era.
• The engraving on the rocks and walls of the
  remaining traces of this early civilization
  indicates this claim.
• Pictures of males gifting females flowers are
  ubiquitous.

Medieval Era

• In the middle ages, the use of flowers as symbols
  to convey various messages became prominent.
• These practices continued till the renaissance
  and evolved into floriography in the Victorian
  era.
• In Turkey, these practices were most popular but
  the tradition of gifting flowers was significant
  worldwide.

The Victorian Era

• In The Victorian Era, people refrained from
  showing emotions.
• So they came up with floriography to convey
  messages. Floriography is the art of
  understanding how to express emotions through
  flowers.
• Different orientation, size of the flowers,
  different colors, the hand used by the giver, the
  way the knot is tied, every detail meant
  something unique.

Modern age

• In modern times the traditions of gifting flowers
  are a mixture of the Medieval, The Victorian, and
  the Ancient Era.
• We gift roses as red symbolizes passionate love
  while dedicating white flowers to the deceased to
  symbolize peace and tranquility.

• This custom is so powerful that you can
  communicate without even talking or writing down
  symbols on a piece of paper.
• But sadly, it is also true that mainly men
  receive fewer flowers than females.
• But you can make the first move and gift your
  father, brother a good friend or your partner a
  flower.
• Fresh flowers in Dubai are not hard to get by.
  Remember to add flowers to your list next time
  you go out for shopping in Dubai.
