We are long familiar with the Victorian concept of the Language of Flowers, and while entertaining, these meanings really only speak to a short period of time in the late 19th century.  When we really consider the symbolism of flowers, we look to their ancient roots and the messages they convey on an energetic level.  Taking this approach of combining ancient and contemporary meanings here is a look at some of our favorite celebrities and what their flowers are really saying.
