It’s not a new language of flowers. It’s the whole language, finally in one place — and still growing.
Discover the art of expressing emotion through nature’s most elegant language.
This dictionary is the companion reference to two published books — The Posy Book (2019) and Modern Floriography (2026) — both by Teresa H. Sabankaya. It’s the online home for her life’s work: over 25 years of compiling the language of flowers, and counting.
This collection will never truly be finished. As new plants are bred and hybridized, new flowers keep appearing — flowers the language hasn’t caught up to yet.
That’s where floriography comes in. To tell stories and send messages through flowers, every flower needs a meaning — so when we find one that doesn’t have one, we give it one.
