Everyone knows that red roses symbolize love. But do you know what pink roses symbolize? There are a lot of lesser-known flower meanings out there, and it’s time we give them some appreciation. So I humbly present, for your perusing, a collection of mood boards for flower meanings. (Meanings found here: http://languageofflowers.com/flowermeaning.htm#anchord)
Heath – Solitude
Pink Rose – Friendship
Scarlet Poppy – Extravagance
Lantana – Rigor
Trumpet Flower – Fame
Baby’s Breath – Innocence
Yarrow – War
Passion Flower – Faith
Saffron Crocus – Mirth
And that’s only a sample of the many different flower meanings! Now pardon me, I have to go to the florist to request a hyper specific arrangement in order to declare war against my neighbors.
