Flower Meanings

The Meaning of Flowers

Sending flowers must be one of the most special ways to brighten up someones day. Its made extra special if the flower meanings send a message too. In Victorian times, certain flowers had specific meanings because the flower selection was limited and people used more symbols and gestures to communicate than words. But today, with so many flower choices, there are no rules - it's the sentiment that gives the gift its meaning. Many people assign their own personal meanings - a flower or color that might remind them of a special event or moment in their lives. Here is a list of different flowers and their meanings.
