Happy Pride Month! I’ve always been a little bit obsessed with the Victorian tradition of floriography and the idea of sending flowers with hidden meanings. Mix that with q***r history, and I’m hooked. If you ever want to send flowers with a message, I’d love to start incorporating more of that into my work.
For the featured flowers: violets represent sapphic love, lavender represents q***r resistance, and pansies represent pride and strength.
It feels meaningful to witness how words like “pansy,” once used as a derogatory term, have been reclaimed and reshaped into symbols of pride and identity. My partner even surprised me for our anniversary last year with matching pansy tattoos.
