Have you ever wanted to send sneaky coded love notes from one dragon to another? Want to confuse your friends by sending them blank messages with flowers attached? Need a way for illicit communications to get around to your more unscrupulous clan members? Say it with flowers! Floriography is the language of flowers. This guide to Sornieth floriography is based off real-world flower language, FR item descriptions, and other users' contributions of how flowers are used in their clans. It includes any plant-based item on FR that could reasonably be included in a bouquet. Want to share the guide? Here are some buttons! Credit for each is underneath.

It’s a means of communicating a secret message using flowers and other decorative plants. This “language” was refined and used IRL during the Victorian Era to have conversations that the rules of politeness would otherwise prevent, but the idea of plants having different meanings stretches well back into antiquity. [br] [indent][font=times new roman][size=4][b]Why have FR floriography?[/b][/indent] [font=times new roman][size=4]‘Cause it’s fun! Also, sentient creatures tend to assign arbitrary meaning to inanimate objects, so it totally makes sense that sneaky dragons would invent a system of floriography. Also, for more selfish reasons, I needed a system of floriography for my dragon [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=47017&tab=dragon&did=24249903]Zyere[/url], and other people were interested in it! So now here it is, for anyone who needs it. [br] [indent][font=times new roman][size=4][b]What kinds of plants are you using?[/b][/indent] [font=times new roman][size=4]Well, IRL floriography includes pretty much any kind of plant that can be included in a bouquet - things like ferns, grass, small tree branches, all of those are fair game. So, any plant or organic material on-site that looks like it could be used for a bouquet is going to be used in this project. [br] [indent][b][font=times new roman][size=4]How did you come up with the meanings for flowers?[/b][/indent] [font=times new roman][size=4]Some are based on meanings of their IRL-equivalents. For example, for the FR item Amaranth, I’ve used the meaning for the real-world flower amaranth/amaranthus. For flowers whose real-world equivalent or meaning is ambiguous (ex: Withered Rose), I’ve chosen the similar real-world flower with a meaning that I like or find useful. For flowers that have no real-world equivalent, I’ve used their hover-text to create a meaning. [br] [indent][b][font=times new roman][size=4]How would I use this language on FR?[/b][/indent] [font=times new roman][size=4]Say, for example, your dragon wants to send a message to gently reject a potential mate’s unwanted advances. Rather than writing them a letter, or having an awkward conversation, a dragon familiar with the language of flowers could send a bouquet of Bloody Snapdragon and Ivy, to indicate to their erstwhile suitor that they’re being presumptuous and that your dragon views their relationship as a friendship only. A less polite dragon might use a combination of Always-Autumn, Minty Jadevine, and upside-down Red Emperor Tulips to absolutely reject their suitor and indicate that they're not even interested in friendship. [br] [indent][b][font=times new roman][size=4]How can I contribute to the guide?[/b][/indent] [font=times new roman][size=4]If your clan uses a particular flower or plant that's listed here to mean something specific, shoot me a message or ping me in this thread! I'll add that meaning to the guide. You can also suggest meanings for items that aren't included here. Anything that could reasonably be included in a bouquet of flowers is fair game![/size][/font]
