Wither is a friendship app that helps you stay in touch. During the Victorian era, it was common for friends and lovers to give each other bouquets of flowers with hidden meanings. Each flower had a specific intent and, when combined together in a bouquet, expressed new feelings, ideas or messages. Many “floriography dictionaries” were sold to help the senders craft their bouquet and allow the receivers to translate those messages. Now, you can keep in touch and express exactly how you feel using this lost language of flowers. You pick the flowers and Wither combines them into little bouquets with concrete messages. Features: - Send individual flowers or mix & match flowers in a bouquet - Focus on the moment: all bouquets wither after 5 days - New flowers added daily
