In the symbolic language of flowers a bunch of daffodils has often been used to denote happiness. This exquisite illustration by P.J. Redouté is from 'Choix des plus belles fleurs' (1827-33) #InternationalDayOfHappiness #Daffodils #Redoute

There's plenty of folklore associated with the colours of flowers in botanical art. Yellow symbolizes happiness & joy, red not only love but courage & respect. Also, can you spot the fly? Watercolour from the Margaret Meen collection, c1770-1820 #FolkloreThursday #sciart #plants

Roses have long been a symbol of romantic love, and in Greek mythology were associated with Aphrodite goddess of love. Here, in Grandville's Les Fleurs Animées, Queen Rose holds court, with beetles paying homage. Hope
