Language of Flowers: Dock

Written By Marcia Lawrence

In the language of flowers, September 26 is commemorated by Dock, which signifies patience. Docks were popular wild edibles during the Great Depression due to their tart, lemony flavor, their widespread abundance, and the fact that they were free for the taking.
