More lore for 'Chosen Horizons' as written in Ori's journal. This time it is about the language of flowers and how hobbits use it. I plan on going into more detail about the language and how it is used in this AU, even if it isn't in the story exactly...

My sources are primarily from

'Floriography' by Jessica Roux

'The Complete Language of Flowers' By S. Theresa Dietz

and many online sources that I constantly forget to save or bookmark.

Feel free to use this as references for your own fics, if you'd like...just keep in mind that despite my best attempt at sticking to the authentic language of flowers...I am but an American Millennial, and not a Victorian who actually practices this... I use it as I see fit and make some changes where I feel is necessary for the plot.

For example, I don't know if there are legitimately flowers associated with each day of the week, but I chose to use the "Monday's Child" poem as a baseline for it...As well as the secret messages bit. I do plan on adding more, like I said...so stay tuned. I'm planning on making a simple dictionary of all the flowers and their meanings that I have used/plan on using/think Bilbo/hobbits would use, etc...And as always, feel free to use it yourself.

Have you ever wondered what flower from Victorian flower language you are? I have! I have a quiz about it! (my credentials are that I have a spreadsheet of over 600 flower meanings)

I was just looking up the meaning of Dahlias and noticed this.

[hanafubukki]

Lilia of (Briar) Valley = Lily of the Valley

Lily of the Valley is one of my fave flowers.

Lilia Vanrouge just encapsulates the meaning of the flower:

Motherhood - the love he has for Malleus and Silver, does it really need to be said? He literally went from “kids are annoying” to “I miss those day when” when he mentions the boys.

Joy and Love - the love he has for meleanor and Levan, the love it took to hatch Malleus and wake Silver, his ability to change because of it, etc.

Purity of Heart and Soul - his younger self might say otherwise, but despite it all, he gave Silver and co a chance to leave and he protected them and fed them during a time of war. When humans by all means should have been hated even if it is a dream

New Beginnings - someone who literally changed, General Lilia Vanrouge to Lilia Vanrouge (the father)

Sympathy for the Departed - His grief for meleanor and Levan, yes, but I also raise you Knight of Dawn and Princess Leia as well. ‘Fae and humans are alike. We just want to protect the ones we love.’

Life’s Purpose - In short, how he changed from General Vanrouge to Lilia Vanrouge. He has a purpose, it’s his family.

Death - if the flower is eaten, it can cause death. You know, like Lilia, with his hatchet (he wouldn’t even need it, his bare hands are enough)

(Flower language differs by region and color, the meanings I know might differ from yours)

[ansitru]

Floriography, or the language of flowers, was a wonderful way for the Victorians to convey hidden meanings through the flowers they gifted.

I think it's time to revive this tradition and start putting together bouquets based on the symbolism of the flowers. Like this one.

I call it my "fuck you"-bouquet, with a "bless your heart" as a cherry on top. 💐
