00:00 Historical Meanings of Flowers Introduction

For men, wearable flowers are almost exclusively reserved for boutonnieres. Many flower varieties have rich histories, which are important to know when putting together an outfit, or even when giving flowers as a gift.

00:49 History of Flower Meanings

Flowers have been associated with specific meanings for as long as mankind has documented itself; the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and the Chinese all mention flowers with deeper meaning in their written works, and Shakespeare used nearly 200 botanical references across his plays. Juliet famously says, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”

Note that the meanings of flowers are important all over the world, and it’s important to check what flowers mean locally before you wear them, where they can stand for things as varied as political movements, celebrations, feelings, nationalities, and milestones.
