Rose Colors & Meanings

Flower Meanings and Meanings of Flowers


In some cultures the meanings of flowers is a big deal, in others not so much. In case you didn't realize this, you might find the above links helpful as potential senders/recipients. :)

Zinnias mean that you are thinking of friends, so these are for all of you. :)

I've always been a big fan of sunflowers...the really tall ones.

Do cherry blossoms count? They are sort of flowers chillin',pretending to be trees. :)
'Cause I like them too.

As a Texan, I love yellow roses. X never bought them for me because (according to him) ''in my culture (Mexico) yellow roses mean you hate that person.'' Seriously? What kind of wacko culture gives roses to people you hate?

Yellow roses mean friendship. :) I am not a big fan of roses, but I like bright yellow ones. :)

Liked daisies and had them on my graduation from h.s. cake - means innocence and hope.

My favorite flower is the deep, very royal purple iris - means a message (wonder what kind of message LOL).

Like the violets too - they mean loyalty, devotation and faithfulness.

Lastly, lily of the valley - sweetness. :)

Need topic :)

God is good.

With a thankful heart,
Abbie Jean

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Shut up now, I hate you?



Sorry, I couldn't resist. I don't hate you sister. Just thought I'd try some really really crappy poetry. Apparently in some cultures they can symbolize death and/or infidelity.

Where I come from, flowers & its colors do have meaning.

For a Quinceañera, or for the birth of a baby, it's pink roses or pink & white carnations.

For Mom from Dad or from offspring, it's red roses.

For Mom from other relatives, it's usually yellow roses, or yellow tones of flowers.

For a wife from her husband, or to accompany an engagement ring, it's any color flower. A wife receiving flowers from anybody else is usually frown upon: taboo, unless it's her birthday.

For funerals, a Baptism, or for a bride on her wedding day, any white flowers.

For teachers from colleagues or students, or to greet somebody at the airport, it's usually yellow roses or any color, small bouquet as long as it's not red roses or white flowers.

I don't know where these traditions got started; that's why they are traditions. :)

A few years ago, I substituted for a high school flower arranging class. I rolled my eyes at some of the electives that are in schools, thinking this was just one of those "fluff" courses. Not so. The students had to know where the flowers originated and their native climates, the ideal temperature for storing the different types of flowers and which flowers could/could not be stored together lest one or both wilted with the exchange of gases. They were learning more science than many science classes.

Needless to say, if I go back into teaching and ever sub again for an industrial arts class, I will go in with an open mind.

Not going to lie.

I laughed when I read "wilted with the exchange of gasses."

I have a couple of rose bushes, they grow beautiful red roses. I guess red roses mean passionate love, so I passionately love my yard. This is kind of weird, but when the roses are open and kind of their last leg or stem, I sprinkle the petals and suck them up in the lawn mower and it smells really good.
