Flowers have been used for ages to send special messages. Are your flowers saying what you think they are?

Flowers have been significant for every major civilisation and remain so today. We name children after them (Holly, Rose, Daisy, Heather, Jasmine), and we include them in almost every major occasion - birth, marriage and finally death. They help us express ourselves to another, when we are at a loss for words, but the messages they convey are not entirely accidental.

The use of flowers as coded language evolved through Medieval and Victorian times. Men and woman were not allowed to openly declare their feelings, so they used flowers to give romantic messages that often went unnoticed by others. Over time the messages became more complex. Here are some examples of what different flowers say.

Roses - Love, Romance, Congratulations

Poinsettias - Purity

Lavender - I only want you as a friend

Anemone - This love is coming to an end

Iris - Good news

Heather (white) - Protection and wishes to come true

Tulip - Perfect lover, fame

Hyacinth (purple or pink) - Forgive me, I`m sorry

Calla Lillies - Beauty

Gardenia - Secret love

Chrysanthemum (Red) - I love you too

Lotus - New beginnings, sexuality

Sunflower - Adoration, longevity, loyalty

So next time you use flowers to send a message, make sure you send the right one!
