How Flower-Obsessed Victorians Encoded Messages in Bouquets

Victorians used flowers a lot like we use emoji. | BY ROMIE STOTT  | AUGUST 15, 2016

As for the poppy, the general Victorian meanings are imagination and eternal sleep. But this would actually change depending on the color of the poppy that was given since there are a lot of color varieties for the poppy. For example, the red poppies mean pleasure, white poppies means consolation and yellow poppies on the other hand represents success.

​

For war veterans, the poppy is used to honor their lost brothers who bravely risked their lives in the battlefield. This originated during the Napoleonic wars where poppies bloomed in the Flanders Field. It is believed that the blood of the soldiers had caused the red poppies to bloom - and some took it as a sign that finally the war is over.
