In Victorian England, the pansy flower was used for secret courting. Since any display of love or passion was severely frowned upon, a pansy was placed in what was called a tussie mussie before being given to the desired person. A tussie mussie was a bunch of herbs wrapped in a doily with some flowers in the middle. It means, I’m feeling amorous towards you, I am thinking of you, I’m missing you. It is always about one person thinking of another.
