9. Flowers

Beauty and a happy face is what I bring. I am the gift that warms your heart. I am your recovery and your well-being. No matter what card is before me, I will always change it positively.

 

What is it like when someone gives you a gift? This card is the fragrant smell of joy and happiness, a show of appreciation that could be on its way. The image here of a bouquet of pink tulips speaks the “Language of Flowers”. In the Victorian era, flowers were used as a medium of communication. They became the code of lovers; a perfect way to covertly express love, passion, and appreciation.

 

Long before the Victorian period, the highly valued tulip was considered so desirable, it induced a phenomenon known as “Tulipmania”. Thus, the presence of this card signifies a valuable gift that is to be given or received. That the label here contains the name of the deck is a nod to earlier decks that often had the publishers stamp embossed on one of the cards. Several early Lenormand decks contained the flag of the city of the publisher on the Ship card, for example.
