What Flowers Convey To People

By Florian Coleman

The language of flowers is understood by everyone. Flowers are used by people of different societies to express many feelings like love, happiness, sorrow, and regret. They offer an easy and classy way of expressing emotions when words fail us. But all flowers do not convey the same thing. Each flower conveys a different meaning and you have to know that meaning before gifting a flower to any one.

Attributing meanings with various flowers is a popular study known as floriography. It is a popular custom in European nations to think about the message of flowers and the occasion before gifting flowers of a certain type.

Red roses are universal representations of eternal love, while pink ones stand for friendship and white ones signify purity. Giving white tulips is the best method to win over a friend you have fallen out with, as tulips signify forgiveness. Lilies are elegant flowers that stand for vigour, charm and celebration. A bouquet of Yarrow along with an appropriately worded card can put a smile on your ailing friend's countenance, whereas a bunch of Azalea can turn out to be auspicious for your companion who is starting a new business. Flowers can have negative meanings as well. A typical case is a bunch of lavender blossoms, which normally shows lack of faith.

Lovers can select from numerous kinds of flowers to convey various moods and emotions. Various romantic moods can be expressed by a number of flowers like yellow Chrysanthemums and Apple Blossoms.

There is one more fact that you should always check before you give flowers to someone. Flowers have various meanings in different cultures. If your friend comes from a various culture, you must gift flowers in accordance, knowing what the flower you are gifting represents in that specific culture, so that you give the symbolically suitable gift. This is essential as you would surely not like your gift to prompt an entirely unexpected reaction from the recipient.
