The act of giving flowers dates back to prehistoric times. The symbolic use of flowers is mentioned in Egyptian inscriptions, Chinese writings, and in both Greek and Roman Mythology. Gathering flowers is even in the Bible.
In ancient mythology, flowers were used as emblems of gods. The word floral actually comes from the Roman Goddess Flora who was the Goddess of flowers, youth and spring. According to Greek Mythology, the Goddess Cybele created the rose.
The public ritual of giving flowers on certain occasions developed over a long period of time. This custom flourished during The Middle Ages. Exchanges of flowers would take place over weeks or months and it gave couples the ability to express themselves without others seeing, overhearing, or interpreting.
