| Do you know that every flower has its own meaning? At the present time people do not commonly think about it, they just choose the most attractive flower or even the most expensive one – it seems to be sufficient to show how special the recipient is for you. But in actual fact there is a special harmony between the outward appearance of the flower and what it says about the feelings of the presenter. In the Victorian time flowers were commonly used as a secret form of communication. Flower language was created by Turkish people, that's the reason why sending a message with flowers to the one you like so as to show your feelings was called a “Persian Salaam”. This method of communication had great popularity in the eighteenth century. At that time bunches of flowers were arranged carefully and in exact accordance with flower language. It's evident that all flowers mean care and attention, but nevertheless every flower with its color and each flower arrangement have their own shades. For instance, red roses have stood for love since the earliest times, but as regards yellow roses they stand for jealousy. So you understand that it's helpful to have general knowledge of flowers meaning to express your emotions correctly. You may be amazed to discover that there is a specialized branch of science that is devoted to the examination of flower language. It's known as floriography and its main objective is to explain the underlying meaning of flowers and flowers compositions both to givers and receivers. Sometimes it is difficult to find appropriate words to express what you feel, so it is high time to use flowers. I'd like to explain the meaning of some popular flowers: aloe signifies grief, aster – daintiness, begonia stands for beware, calendula refers to joy, carnation signifies energy, affection and health, daisy stands for innocence, loyal love, lily means purity, orchid refers to beauty and love and tulip signifies declaration of love. It is just a superficial review of flowers language. And the meaning of any flower is much deeper that we may put into words. It is quite hard to explain their meaning, you should feel it. In case you're interested to learn more about flowers, you may read special literature, and you will soon find the common language with these amazing plants. |
