FLOWERS PERSONIFIED 2. Victorians merged the laws of propriety with the language of flowers; nun-like Water Lily, or Nenuphar; sleep/death inducing precocious Poppy or Pavot, shrinking Violet or Violette from J.J Grandville's Les Fleurs Animées, 1847 #BotanicalGothic @daisy2205
FLOWERS PERSONIFIED. Invasive & unruly, the Hawthorn (Aubepine) & Gillyflower (Giroflee) are contained by plant men or gardeners, whilst the thistle (Chardon) makes an ass of her suitor with her spikes and prickles. From J.J Grandville's Les Fleurs Animées, 1847 #BotanicalGothic

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
