Walk into a flower store and an amazing number of colors and smells greet you! How do you choose which flowers to give to that special someone? Believe it or not, flowers can convey many messages. You can "say it with flowers."
The power of flowers
Even before the first Valentine's Day, people celebrated events by giving flowers. Back in the 1700s, people believed every flower had a special meaning. When they gave flowers, they chose the ones that best expressed their feelings.
Remember that not everyone agrees on these meanings. But to help you make your choice, here are some flowers and the ideas they can stand for.
Red roses
Each color of rose has its own meaning, and red roses often show romantic feelings.
Peruvian lilies
These flowers suggest both loyalty and the bond between friends.
Forget-me-nots
These cleverly named flowers are associated with cherished memories.
Sweet peas
These sweet-smelling flowers are often given when people move and are saying good-bye.
In the end, it doesn't matter which flowers you choose. They will always carry your own personal meaning.
Information
If you plan on giving roses to that special someone today, you should know that different colored roses give different messages.
There's a color that symbolizes love at first sight, a color for appreciation, a color for friendship, and a color that expresses wishes for good health. Now, be careful with black roses because the very unromantic message they send is : the relationship is over!
