Did you know that ever since the Victorian Era people have used flowers to convey their feelings? That every flower has had a meaning attached to it, and gifting a particular kind meant sending across a certain message? Yes, though in these times of hectic schedules and rush-rush lifestyles we only send flowers considering their beauty & fragrance, gifting a bouquet can have a much deeper meaning. Read on to find out which flower kind signifies what, and how you can make your next bouquet even more meaningful.
Roses happen to be a hot favorite no matter what the occasion. However, the choice of color can lend a whole new meaning to the gift. For instance, pink roses are for friendship and red signify passionate love. And while white roses stand for purity, yellow suggest zeal. Also, presenting a mixed bunch of white and red roses stands for unity!
Similarly, presenting day lilies spells enthusiasm, while calla lilies are associated with royalty. To mark celebrations include Casablanca lilies, and gift stargazer lilies to commend ambition. Carnations too send different messages depending on their color. While pink should be sent when you are expressing gratitude, red carnations are usually associated with being flashy and while white carnations are given for remembrance, yellow stand for cheerfulness. However, beware if you are presented with striped carnations, as they signify refusal.
You can also gift a bouquet of flowers in accordance with the month of birth. Carnations are a suitable gift for those born in January, while iris & violets are for February-borns. If you are celebrating a March-birth then gift daffodils, while April-borns deserve daisies or peonies. Lily is for the month of May, while roses are apt for those born in June. Choose delphiniums for July births and dahlias or gladiolus for August-borns. Aster or forget-me-not is for those from September, while Marigold is good for people born in October. For a November born gift chrysanthemums and for those born in December take a pick from narcissus, paperwhite, holly or poinsettia.
