What Each of the 20 Most Popular Flowers Symbolize & Other Interesting Facts from http://www.sixwise.com/

In the Victorian era, sending a secret message to your lover using a carefully chosen bouquet of flowers was all the rage. The type of flower, its color and even whether the flowers were presented with the right or left hand (right for yes, left for no) all had a specific meaning to convey.

1. Lily


The color and type of the lily is very important:


Calla Lily: Beauty
White Lily: Purity, "it's heavenly to be with you"
Orange Lily: Hatred
Tiger Lily: Wealth, pride
Yellow Lily: I'm walking on air


2. Daisy


"A lot of gals are loving the daisies."

Innocence, loyal love, purity and gentleness.


3. Lilac


Lilacs symbolize a first love or new love so they're popular not only to celebrate a new union at weddings, but also to signify the first love between a mother and child.


4. Rose


The rose is perhaps the most commonly known romantic flower, but did you know they're also edible? In terms of meaning, a rose's color is very important.


Red: Love, beauty, romantic love, I love you, courage passion
Yellow: Joy, happiness, friendship, a new beginning, remember me
White: Purity, innocence, humility, youthfulness, sincerity, unity
Pink: Elegance, gracefulness, appreciation, thank you
Peach: Desire, anticipation, optimism toward the future, closing the deal, let's get together
Coral: Desire
Orange: Enthusiasm, desire
Lavender: Love at first sight, enhancement


5. Tulip


In general, tulips signify fame, charity and a perfect lover. If you want to be more specific, choose a color.


Red: Declaration of love, believe me
Yellow: Hopeless love
Variegated: You have beautiful eyes


6. Lily


These dainty flowers symbolize sweetness, humility, return to happiness and purity.


7. Orchid


In China, orchids are a symbol for many children, but in general they also signify love, beauty and refinement.


8. Stephanotis


This fragrant, sweet-smelling flower is a favorite for weddings, as it symbolizes marital bliss, as well as a desire to travel (honeymoon!).


9. Carnations


Most aren't aware that carnation petals are edible and quite sweet. In general, a carnation is a sign of affection, health and energy, but color does make a difference.


Pink: I'll never forget you
Red: Admiration, my heart is aching
Solid colored: Yes, acceptance
Striped: Refusal, no, I can't be with you
White: Pure love, sweet, innocence
Yellow: Rejection, disdain

10. Gardenia


Have a secret crush? Send him or her gardenias. They mean ecstasy, you're lovely, and I secretly love you.


11. Hydrangea


A hydrangea has two, very different, sides. It can express a thank you for understanding, but it can also signify frigidity and heartlessness.


12. Sunflower


Most people have snacked on sunflower seeds, but did you know the bud of the sunflower can be steamed like an artichoke (and tastes similar)? Interested more in meaning than eating?


Sunflowers symbolize loyalty and wishes.


13. Pansy


Pansies are edible and can be used as a garnish or to add a slightly grassy flavor to green or fruit salads. Send them to someone you're thinking of; they signify loving thoughts.


14. Daffodil


Daffodils symbolize regard, respect and unrequited love.


15. Forget-Me-Not


Forget-Me-Nots have their name for a reason. Along with true love, they're also used to symbolize memories.


16. Marigold


Marigolds are a popular and pretty garden flower, but you may want to think twice before giving a bouquet to your neighbor. They can signify cruelty, grief and jealousy (although they can also be sent to "comfort the heart" of someone who's grieving).
Send someone a reminder of your favorite memories together with Forget-Me-Nots.


17. Peony


Another good flower choice for weddings, peonies symbolize a happy life and marriage and are regarded as an aphrodisiac.


18. Petunia


Also popular in the garden, petunias have several, somewhat contradictory, meanings. Along with resentment and anger, they can also indicate "your presence soothes me."


19. Stock


This fragrant flower means lasting beauty, you'll always be beautiful to me, affection and promptness.


20. Violet


The violet symbolizes modesty, hence the term "shrinking violet." However, based on color:


Blue: I'll always be true, faithfulness, watchfulness
White: Let's take a chance



days grow longer and as the time goes by, things are taking their change. may love remain no matter how the weather change. may love remain no matter how tough the life may be. may love remain no matter how cruel the reality is.
