Freesia, the flower of aristocrats
The beautiful freesia got its name in honor of the renowned physician Friedrich Freese, who lived in Germany in the early 19th century. The botanist made a significant contribution to the cultivation of this plant. Few people know that freesia belongs to the iris family, which can be found in the Cape region. These flowers were often found in tropical countries as well. Previously, they could be encountered near rivers or water bodies. But now many people plant freesias near their homes because they have a delightful fragrance. The use of freesia in bouquets began in Europe in the early 20th century. It's worth noting that during this period, each type of flower carried a special meaning and symbolism, so florists carefully selected all the flowers to convey the right message to the recipient. Nowadays, a bouquet of freesias indicates that the person trusts you and wants to create a pleasant atmosphere for communication.
