The Language of Flowers – what does each flower mean? 🌸

Flowers have been more than just a beautiful sight in a vase for centuries. They carry a language of their own: a way to express feelings and messages without words. In Victorian times, this “flower language” was even used as a secret form of communication. Today, flowers still hold meaning and add an extra layer of emotion to any bouquet.

🌹 Roses

The most well-known messengers. Red symbolizes love and passion, pink stands for tenderness and appreciation, and white for purity and innocence. A single bouquet of roses can tell an entire story.

🌸 Lilies

Symbolize purity, elegance, and a new beginning. Perfect for wishing someone success in a new chapter of life, or as a sign of admiration.

💐 Hydrangeas

Stand for gratitude, abundance, and deep emotions. With their full bloom, they are ideal for showing appreciation or celebrating a relationship.

🌺 Orchids

Radiate luxury and refinement. They symbolize beauty, strength, and mystery – a flower suited for special moments and elegant gifts.

🌼 Chrysanthemums

Have different meanings around the world. In the Netherlands, they often stand for happiness and long life, while in Asia they are linked to health and prosperity.

🌷 Tulips

The symbol of the Netherlands, but in the language of flowers they mean love and warmth. Red for deep love, yellow for cheerfulness, and white for forgiveness.

🌹 Carnations

Also carry their own message. White carnations stand for purity and loyalty, red for admiration, and pink for gratitude.

💜 Irises

Represent hope, inspiration, and trust – often given to encourage someone or to wish them success.

✨ In the end

Behind every bouquet lies a hidden message. Whether you choose roses to declare your love, hydrangeas to express gratitude, or orchids to highlight beauty and luxury – flowers speak a universal language that everyone understands. 🌸
