Young men are always ready to give flowers to young ladies when they are in love. This tradition may
have come from Turkey.
In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. The baskets were delivered(递送) secretly by the person who sold flowers or fruit on the street to
the person's door.
These baskets included a variety of "gifts":flowers, stones, feathers, wax(蜡), and even charcoal(炭).
Each thing in the basket had a special meaning, By figuring out the secret message contained in each item (项目 ), the person who received the basket began to understand the true feelings of the person who sent it.
This idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to Germany, France and England. However, as time passed, only sending flowers, remained popular.
Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received . Not all of the dictionaries agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person
had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send.
By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of
sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind
of flower has been lost.
