Which flowers for which woman?

How would you characterize your best female friends or your female boss? As courageous, self-confident, creative, combative, selfless - or as natural, romantic, shy, reserved? Do you see her as a career woman, family person, buddy type or adventurer, or is she down-to-earth or even intellectual? If you think about it, you will quickly realize that it is difficult to put a label on someone. Sometimes it works, but often a woman is a little bit of many things... or something completely different. That's why it's to a large extent «gut feeling» which flower suits which woman.

The language of flowers probably originated in Persia and found its way to the medieval sultans. It was brought to Europe by the English aristocrat Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who lived in Istanbul from 1689 to 1762. In Istanbul, Lady Mary discovered the complex communication of the harem women, which took place via flowers. This language was complex and very precise. It could be used to convey a variety of messages. Although there were no written documents from Istanbul, Charlotte de Latour wrote a book in 1816. This promoted the understanding and spread of the language of flowers in Europe.
