For centuries, flowers carried messages too delicate for words. A red rose declared love. A yellow carnation spoke of rejection. A sprig of rosemary meant remembrance.

Floriography brings that secret language back to life.

Point your camera at any flower — in a garden, a hedgerow, a florist's window — and Floriography generates a hand-crafted story card in the spirit of the great Victorian botanists. Every card reveals the flower's common and Latin name, its place in history, its symbolic meaning, and the message it once carried between lovers and rivals and mourners.

Your personal garden journal
Every flower you identify is pressed into your private journal — catalogued by date and by the place where you found it. A growing herbarium, yours alone.

The Victorian floriography dictionary
Browse or search over 150 flowers and their meanings, drawn from Kate Greenaway's 1884 Language of Flowers.

Flower of the Day
Each morning a new flower is featured — its Victorian meaning, a verse, and a genuine historical event from this date involving that flower. A small daily ritual for the botanically curious.

Visit real botanical gardens around the world and collect your seal for each one. A botanist's passport — 57 gardens to discover. Travel to a garden, open the map, and check in to earn your stamp. Stamps queue automatically if you have no signal and are awarded when you reconnect.
