Learn the Victorian Meaning of Flowers + FREE vintage printables!
Hi everyone! Back in the spring, I did a post on the meanings behind some spring flowers. I shared photographs that I had taken over the years of various springtime blooms like tulips and pansies and other beautiful posies, as my grandmother would say. Today I have a FREE printable for you to help you learn the Victorian meaning of flowers–over 100 0f them(!).
If you’re a flower lover, then you won’t want to miss these posts: Albany’s Dutch heritage and Tulip Fest.
Remember the post? Victorians had a dish for every kind of food and a meaning for every kind of flower.
Recently, in an old antique book that was falling apart, I found this one page list of flowers and their meanings. I thought I’d share a PDF version of it with you today, since it’s a topic we had looked at not so long ago.
Feel free to download the document to use for reference or to print out and use for crafting; it’s a free gift for you today.
Here’s an online list of the meaning of flowers that is slightly different and in addition has meanings for flowers beyond “Roses” (which is where my list ends).
And because I appreciate you so much, here’s one more free printable! A sweet prayer of thanksgiving by a Mrs. Crewdson, filled with lovely poppies and daisies.
Don’t forget to check out my post that looks at many different spring flowers and their Victorian meanings.
Bye for now,
I’d love it if you’d pin me 🙂
What a nice gift to readers, Diana. Thank you!
You’re so welcome, Rita!
Lovely post! Love your photos!
Thanks Melissa!
Thank you. This is so interesting to find out the meaning of the flowers.
Glad you enjoyed it Debra–
Thanks so much Diana, lovely print and the list is so—-Victorian, lol. Sandi
Thanks, Sandi!
Thank you for the flower iist with meanings. It printed out beautifully. As Sandi Magle says, it’s unmistakeably Victorian! Fun to read, though!
I’m so glad to hear you like the list and that it printed out nicely for you–made my day 🙂
Awesome
Thank you Diana! I’m writing a story with a gardener as the protagonist and her life is full of flowers. This guide will be very helpful in making sure the flowers fit the scene.
You’re welcome Laura! Best wishes on your story 🙂
Love this, any idea of what the book was called?
Wish I did Dan!
