With Valentine's Day being right around the corner, you're probably seeing lots of flowers in many different colors. Did you know that flowers and their colors have meanings?
So if you want to make sure that you're sending the right message when you give flowers, look at our list of the 10 most popular flowers and what their color means. Of course, we suggest you give Hawaiian hair clips instead of live flowers -- they look completely real, are much less expensive, and will last much much longer.
ALSTROMERIA -- resembles a miniature lily. Symbolizes friendship and devotion
CARNATION -- White carnations suggest pure love and good luck, light red symbolizes admiration, while dark red represents deep love and affection. Purple carnations imply capriciousness, and pink carnations carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary’s tears – making them the symbol of a mother’s undying love.
DAFFODIL -- symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. A gift of daffodils is said to ensure happiness.
GLADIOLUS -- symbolizes strength and integrity.
HYDRANGEA -- symbolizes enduring grace and beauty
LILY -- white lilies symbolize chastity and virtue, Peruvian lilies, or alstroemeria, represent friendship and devotion, white stargazer lilies express sympathy and pink stargazer lilies represent wealth and prosperity. Symbolizing humility and devotion, lilies of the valley are the 2nd wedding anniversary flower.
ORCHID -- symbolizes rare and delicate beauty. Pink orchids convey pure affection, and the popular cattelya orchid represents mature charm.
ROSE -- Each color offers a distinct meaning: red, the lover’s rose, signifies enduring passion; white, humility and innocence; yellow, expressing friendship and joy; pink, gratitude, appreciation and admiration; orange, enthusiasm and desire; white lilac and purple roses represent enchantment and love at first sight. The number of stems in a rose bouquet can also express specific sentiments.
