Who developed the language of flowers?

The language of flowers was developed during the highly conservative period of the Victorian era. This was done when it was considered totally inappropriate to express feelings of affection and love during the era when they were strongly restricted by the rules of etiquette.

The language of flowers thus evolved when a message was assigned to a specific flower such as a daisy or an aster. Flowers lovers could send hidden romantic messages.
