Why Waxflower Works for Wooing
The Victorian language of flowers began in the stately courts of the Turkish sultans as a secret language for lovers to send clandestine messages to each other. As it found its way to Europe, the "secret codes" of flowers could be sent across a crowed room when worn in a corsage, pinned to the hair or present as a posey.

Few debuted with as much meaning as the Chamalauceum uncinatum, the waxflower, from Australia. Said to be "the" flower of romance, the abbreviated message this flower conveys is a new inner wisdom, and chance for renewal and an openness to love and joy. What better way to woo a world-weary lover than with a promise of good things to come.
