I was having lunch with a friend, and I was telling her I needed to weed my flowerbeds. She asked what kind of flowers I grew. My answer: pretty flowers?
When deciphering the meaning of a flower, its colour is as important as the flower itself.
Pink: Pink flowers are sent to friends or love interest. They represent femininity and playfulness.
Yellow: Yellow flowers are sent to brighten a home or cheer up a friend. They represent joy, happiness, and friendship.
White: White flowers are sent to someone who's getting married or welcomed a baby. They represent purity, humility, and innocence.
Here are the flowers to send according to the occasion or the meaning you would like to convey.
Love: red roses, red tulips, red carnations, dahlias.
Friendship: yellow roses, freesias, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums.
Gratitude: pink roses, hydrangeas, sweet peas, irises.
Sympathy: white roses, lilies, orchids, poppies.
Celebration: peonies, lisianthuses, daffodils, calla lilies.
Lavender means distrust and Lilac means joy of youth.
There are also birth flowers, like there are birthstones. I was born in September. According to the chart, my birth flower is Morning Glory. Well, that's interesting because I'm anything but glorious in the morning.
I'll go weed my flowerbeds one last time before the frost kills all my flowers. Take Care & Happy Reading!
