It’s a means of communicating a secret message using flowers and other decorative plants. This “language” was refined and used in real life/human history 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. [indent][b]Why have FR floriography?[/b][/indent] Why not?! Sentient creatures tend to assign arbitrary meaning to inanimate objects, so it totally makes sense that sneaky dragons would invent a system of floriography. [indent][b]What kinds of plants are you using?[/b][/indent] RL 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. [indent][b]How did you come up with the meanings for flowers?[/b][/indent] Some are based on meanings of their IRL-equivalents. For example, for the FR item [i]Amaranth,[/i] I’ve used the meaning for the real-world flower [i]amaranth/amaranthus.[/i] For flowers whose real-world equivalent or meaning is ambiguous (ex: [i]Withered Rose),[/i] 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. [indent][b]How would I use this language on FR?[/b][/indent] 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 [i]Bloody Snapdragon and Ivy,[/i] 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 [i]Always-Autumn, Minty Jadevine, and upside-down Red Emperor Tulips[/i] to absolutely reject their suitor and indicate that they're not even interested in friendship. [indent][b]How can I contribute to the guide?[/b][/indent] 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!
