Episode 2: The Hidden Bouquets: When Flowers Speak

Victorian England hid real feelings inside secret bouquets — and we're still speaking that same coded language today. In this episode, KC unpacks floriography — the Victorian-era practice of hiding real feelings inside carefully chosen flower arrangements, when saying things outright simply wasn't allowed. We look at what these coded bouquets actually meant, how people learned to "read between the lines" of a gift, and why we're all still doing some version of this today, whether it's a text message, a favor, or a small gesture that says more than the words attached to it.
