Flowers Meaning

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS

The famous Russian professor, Illya Shevelyov once said: "Flowers given by loving people will never fade." The meaning of these words is deeper than it may seem. For Russian women, giving flowers means showing care and attention.

But beware! Russians are also very superstitious people!!

Here are a few guidelines:

If sending flowers to a loved one, always send an odd number. Even numbers are for funerals!!!!

Colour is also important as all colours represent a thought or emotion.

For example:

RED: love, passion

PEACH, PINK: tenderness, tender love, sympathy

YELLOW: There are two meanings - the positive one is friendship and joy and the negative one is cheating and breaking up.

ORANGE: enthusiasm and desire

WHITE: silence, modesty, charm, innocence

All the above-mentioned meanings apply only to roses. If you give a bouquet of flowers it can have different colours in it and the only meaning that would be construed is that you appreciate, think of and care about your special lady.
