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.
