More often than not, words are not quite enough to express our feelings,
to communicate. There are ways to link our thought process with someone else
other than words though. Since the Victorian era, the language of flowers has
been used to convey messages too complex to be spoken. Today, most implications
of flowers are forgotten by the majority, but some are still accepted. Red roses,
for instance, still signify passionate and romantic love. Forget-me-nots quite
obviously mean remembrance, not unlike rosemary.
The meaning of a flower can vary greatly by just colour. A pink
carnation can signify a mother's love, it can mean "I'll never forget
you", or "Always on my mind". Whereas yellow and striped ones
imply refusal and rejection. A white lily is a symbol of purity, but an orange
lily symbolizes hatred.
Flowers are a fairly effective method to communicate tricky subjects.
Have no idea as to how to talk to your first love? A violet or red rose, a
purple lilac, or a red tulip would be your best bet to take a starting step to
a romance. A subtle way of refusal without a hard blow is to send the person a
striped carnation. Cypress is probably the most appropriate flower to bring to
a funeral.
A red carnation implies affirmation or simply “yes”. If you want to say
“You are lovely” or “Good Luck” to anyone, gardenia is your flower. A white
clover is a symbol for a promise. The lettuce we are all familiar with is
actually a symbol of cold-heartedness. A daffodil can mean chivalry, respect,
or uncertainty. Rue, or herb of grace, can imply Regret, Sorrow, or Repentance. An almond flower symbolizes hope.
Even though this art, also called Floriography, not very well known at
this point, some florists still practice this language. The language of
flowers can tell tremendous stories and teach lessons for life.
