DAY 7 Say it with Flowers 花语寄情
Young men often give flowers to young women when they are in love .
The tradition may have come from Turkey.
In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things.
The baskets were sent secretly to the person who was receiving it.
Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside near the door of that person.
These baskets included many kinds of gifts: flowers, stones, candles, etc.
Each thing in the basket had a special meaning.
By working out the secret message hidden in each gift, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feelings of the person who sent it.
