The Victorians used flowers as a way to convey messages. Each flower held a different meaning creating its own unique language. This bouquet is my interpretation of this language. A bouquet created to warn someone that death may be close and to seek protection.

Hemlock - death

poppy - eternal sleep

eucalyptus - protection
