We have all heard the slogan, "Say it with flowers" but did you know that the Victorians literally did exactly that? In the socially restrictive 1800s people used the symbolism of flowers to communicate feelings on topics that were considered "socially unacceptable". Did you know that to gift a single Dahlia is to tell someone you like their style, Periwinkles symbolize tender recollections, Rudbeckia represents justice and Coreopsis reflects cheerfulness.... You will find a bouquet of delightful blooms in artist and painter of natural delights Madeleine Wood's MavenFair Shop. Her original, acrylic on board, floral paintings are the perfect way to "say it with flowers". At 6" x 6" they are also the perfect size to brighten any space, or "pick" a few and create your own indoor garden.
