FLOWERS
TULIP
Your perfect choice to express love is definitely tulip. Watching them
bloom
their bright
petals
is an experience in itself. It is the best natural scene. For their bright colourful petals,
tulips are easily recognized and loved by all flower lovers. Tulips are perfection redefined,
with no
excessive
brightness or elegance. Tulip is made to convey the feelings of your heart,
but beside the brightness and beauty, there are tulip flower meanings too. Tulip belongs to lily
family and is a native of Middle East. It was brought to Europe in the 16th century.
In early English, tulip was named as tulipa or tulipant. Tulip is the
emblem
of the
Netherlands. According to Freud, tulip symbolizes the phallus and thus, it indicates the
perfect lover. But since the Victorian era there have been many changes in tulip flower
meanings depending upon its colour. Red tulip
signifies
the declaration of love and the wait
for an answer. Yellow tulip symbolizes the brightness of love.
DAISY
Among the flower meanings daisy represents
purity
and
innocence
. The specialty of the
daisy flower meanings is that there are no negative meanings to it. The meanings of daisy
flower are all positive in nature. In the 17th century, Carolis Linnaeus gave daisy its unique
name.
A daisy was often used by
maidens
to decorate their hair. A common daisy flower meaning is
innocence.
Devoid
of any
sin
or guilt, daisy is the perfect symbol of innocence. Daisy is often
used while
confessing
undying love. Though the use of flowers for proposing love may be
ancient, daisy
captures
the language of love best with its silence. In earlier days a daisy from
a maiden was an honourable gesture and an act of affection
IRIS
Iris is unique among all the flowers in the world. It has the best symbolic flower meanings
among all flowers, and it symbolizes trust. Iris has a mythical
significance
as well. Iris, the
messenger
of Hera, was amazed at the beauty and colors of iris and gave it its present name.
The messenger was actually
hailed
by the people of the world for bringing the rainbow on the
sky. This was because she connected the world of humans to the world of
temples
of the
heavenly gods. The use of iris to express feelings has become rare, but it is still good for
expressing trust.
The iris flower meanings portray the importance of someone's friendship. The iris flower
meanings hail the glory of truth, friendship and trust. Now, you know the best gift for
Friendship day is to let your dearest friend know with a bunch of iris, how much he/she means
to you.
Faith
is an important
pillar
in our life. Faith in the
Almighty
as well as your dear
ones is best captured by iris. Tell your partner that you have complete faith in him/her by
giving an iris. This would indeed be an appreciating gesture.

been an important flower ever since the Biblical period. Like other flowers, lily too has
different flower meanings. According to the Bible, petals of white lily signify

This notion of purity had been with the lily flower since the ancient days. The ancient Chinese
and the Greeks had linked white lily to purity. To the Chinese, the symbolic meaning of lily is
summer and
abundance

deities
. The
Greeks believe that Lilies were born out of the breast milk of Goddess Hera, but the Romans
