Floriography
The language of flowers
Android
Floriography is a Victorian flower identification and journaling app — point your camera at any flower and receive its name, its hidden meaning in the language of flowers, and a hand-crafted poetic story written in the spirit of the age. Every flower you find is pressed into a personal garden journal, yours to keep forever.
The name comes from the Victorian practice of communicating through flowers — a secret language spoken not in words, but in petals. A red rose meant one thing. A sprig of rosemary in a mourning glove said what grief could not.
What makes it different
Most plant identification apps return a name and a Wikipedia paragraph. Floriography passes every identification through Claude AI, which generates a full narrative — the flower's Victorian symbolism, its history, and a verse written as if from the era itself. The result reads like a page from a naturalist's journal, not a database entry.
Beyond identification
The Dark Bouquet Builder lets you compose arrangements with intent — grief, warning, contempt, farewell — drawing on flowers the Victorians used to say the unsayable. A Garden Map tracks 49 historic gardens worldwide, each with a collectible stamp earned by visiting in person. Poison gardens, mourning gardens, and legendary botanical sites across 11 regions.
The feel
Cream, deep green, and gold. Playfair Display and Lora throughout. Every screen feels like a page from a Victorian botanical press. It never feels like a utility app.
Free — 5 flower stories per month. Bloom subscription £3.99/month — unlimited identifications, full journal, location tagging, PDF export, and audio narration mode.
