Beltane Countdown: Celebrating Flowers

Depending on where you live, you may well be getting ready for planting season -- and few things symbolize spring as well as flowers! Did you know that during the Victorian era, people could send secret messages using the language of flowers? One might send her lover a crocus, saying Be cautious with my heart, or swear undying friendship with some arbor vitae. Learn more about these magical messages, and The Secret Language of Flowers.
