Freesia with natural light.---Floral decoration is as old as civilisation and flowers have been used as symbols or expressions of emotions, or as superstitions, for centuries. The language of flowers started in the harems of the Middle East, where secrecy between lovers was essential. Each flower had a meaning and secret messages could be exchanged. The Victorians took this language to their hearts and produced several dictionaries of the language of flowers.--- Freesia= Faithfullness.
