Flower Code Bookmarks

Flowers have a queer history. The act of putting certain flowers in one’s lapel, or drawing a flower on a letter for a lover are two examples of how flowers were used by queer communities. Historically there were 8 flowers representing different sexualities and genders. Some of these flower symbols are still used today.
