Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, in speaking of the flower language, says: “There is no color, no flower, no weed, no fruit, herb, pebble or feather, that has not a verse belonging to it; and you may quarrel, reproach, or send letters of passion, friendship, or civility, or even of news, without even inking your fingers.” – Encyclopedia of Superstitions, Folklore, and the Occoult Sciences of the World, p. 789
