Types of Flowers and Their Different Meanings
Did you know that the types of flowers you order offer a special insight into YOU? It’s true; the flowers you select say a lot about who you are and what you’re thinking. Not only can flowers express your feelings to others, but they can also give clues about your personality and who you are as a person. It may sound a bit strange, but it’s entirely true - these colorful little (or sometimes big) living things give messages to the people you give them to. So what do your flowers say about you?
Roses
Roses are versatile flowers that actually come with a few different meanings. For example, most people know that red roses mean love. When you give your sweetheart a bouquet of red roses, it’s the same as telling them you love them. But did you know that offering pink roses to someone is another way of saying “thank you”? Depending on the shade of pink, however, these roses can also express happiness or feelings of joy. Yellow roses speak of friendship and congratulations and are often sent to newlyweds, graduates, and new parents. White roses are an expression of innocence, but are also often used to tell someone you miss them. Orange or coral-colored roses are symbolic of passion and desire, and make a bold statement to the recipient.
Daisies
There are many different types of daisies and lots of colors to choose from, and one of the most popular varieties is the Gerbera daisy. These daisies are noted for there long, leafless stems and large colorful blooms. Daisies are usually given to express joy and cheer, but they are also a symbol of innocence.
Lilies
Like daisies, lilies also come in many different varieties, but perhaps two of the most popular choices are Peruvian and stargazer lilies. Peruvian lilies are smaller flowers with pink, white, and yellow spotted blooms, and they offer a great message of friendship or devotion. Bold in appearance, the sweetly fragrant stargazers have pink and white spotted petals and offer an expression that is as bold as the flower itself. Stargazers make dramatic statements of love or friendship to the recipient, but they also carry the lily family’s traditional connotation of innocence and purity.
Orchids
Orchids are one of the most esteemed of the flower world. These exotic blooms are known for their grace and elegance and have an air of refinement about them. Their delicate beauty makes them an immensely popular choice. While they can be purchased for any occasion, they are often given as housewarming gifts or congratulations.
Carnations
Carnations provide an inexpensive means to let someone else know you’re thinking of them. Their message of love or friendship is obvious, and color choice also plays a role in expressing feelings. Deep red carnations indicate love, while pink flowers usually send a message of gratitude or thanks. Carnations are one of the oldest cultivated flowers and have been used for centuries to convey messages of love.
There are literally thousands of different varieties of flowers to choose from, and each group comes with its own distinct message. With flowers you can express feelings of love, thanks, sorrow, happiness, even loneliness. The next time you find yourself struggling for the right words to say to your special someone, let your flowers do the talking for you.
