During the Victorian Era, flowers were used as a language of their own. Posies were used to send a message, ask a question, or send a reply. The small round bouquets were created using flowers and herbs selected for their unique messages. Selecting flowers based on their meanings can create a bouquet not only of beauty but one that conveys a message from the heart. You can find a variety of meaningful flowers growing in our fields. We love getting orders for these gifts from the heart.
