The tradition of giving flowers to a woman has been passed on from one generation to the next and so on. The language of flower-giving has evolved from the Ancient Greeks. The Greeks dedicate flowers to their gods and honored their people by crowning them with flowers and laurels. In the 1800s, a study of the meaning of flowers called Floriography developed and thus the language of flowers has never been the same. A woman loves to receive flowers. To give flowers for the first date is worth the thought.
