The Language of Flowers: secrets and symbols

In a cultural and historical context, flowers attract not only for their beauty, but also for their amazing ability to convey emotions and hidden messages. At different times and nations, they have become a means of communication a long time, already known as the «language of flowers». Each of them, even the smallest buttercup-dandelion, has a secret meaning. And we will reveal the secrets of the most popular flowers in floristry.

Roses

The recognized queen of flowers and the most intense symbol of love and passion. If you want to express your deep adoration and romantic feelings, order a bouquet of fiery red roses. Pink roses express tenderness, warmth and gratitude. White roses symbolize purity and virtue.

Lilies

This imperial flower is an imposing symbol of luxury. Its beauty is flawless, its symbolism is ambiguous. Each color conveys its own unique message. For example, a white lily symbolizes sincerity and innocence of the soul, while a red lily expresses passion and love.

Tulips

A yellow tulip is joy, friendship, radiant mood; red - passionate attraction and explosion of feelings; purple tulip – mystery and riddles.
