"The Language of Flowers" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
During the early Victorian revival of chivalry the Language of Flowers had some considerable vogue. The Romeo of the mutton-chop whiskers was expected to keep this delicate symbolism in view, and even to display his wit by some dainty conceits in it.
