The landscape designer Fernando Pozuelo explains in this sense: “the language of flowers, called floriography, is an ancestral tradition that demonstrates, once again, the relationship between human beings and nature.

We have the possibility of resorting to the beauty of natural species to be able to express our feelings and emotions.” Discover the meaning of five of the most gifted flowers remembering that, as Miley Cyrus says in her song flowers, It is a great gift to ourselves.
