Flowers are not selected randomly and over the years they have developed meanings. For example, the acacia means concealed love, chaste love or beauty; the aster symbolizes both love and daintiness; a pink carnation means I will never forget you; while the yellow says rejection or disappointment; the tulip says you have sunshine in your smile.
Then of course there are “birthday” flowers. Those born in February have the primrose and violet as birth flowers; while the larkspur and water lily are birth flowers for those born in July; and the holly, narcissus, and poinsettia are flowers for birthdays in December.
Birth signs too have specific flowers: for Arians who are passionate and adventurous, their flowers are red roses, tulips, and amaryllis while for Scorpios the flowers are hibiscus, peony, and amaranthus among others.
The colors of flowers have meaning and speak a language that is their own and there are scientific as well as traditional interpretations.
Traditionally:
- Red flowers signify romance.
- Yellow flowers friendship.
- White flowers reverence.
- Peach flowers thanks.
- Pink flowers appreciation.
- Orange flowers flames of desire.
- Purple flowers mean love at first sight.
- Black lends power, confidence, and self esteem.
- Blue is calming to the mind and soul. The color is known to lower blood pressure and relieve hypertension.
- Red sets the pulse racing and is known to induce passions.
- Green is nurturing and relaxes the mind and body.
- Violet induces calm and peace.
- Pink soothes and is like a salve, cool and calm.
- Yellow is energetic and spreads sunshine.
The language of flowers is not set, rigid, or universal. They have different meanings and connotations in different parts of the world. Flowers can help you express thoughts, feelings, and emotions, they do the needful when words are difficult to say.
