meanings conveyed
in the giving of flowers


Flower Symbolism takes us back to ancient times...

"A language of deep symbolic meaning is spoken in the exchange of flowers".   Some messages are mystical, some magical and some mysterious, seductive or alluring, each as timeless and unique as the flower itself.  


Flower Meaning ~
Why flowers are so very meaningful to us...


Ancient, mystical, and magical there are so many meanings of flowers.  For thousands of years flowers have been given as tokens and symbols of love, friendship, affection, intentions, accomplishment and sympathy.  The beauty in a flower evokes unexpressed thoughts and feelings that are sometimes difficult to find words for, and the giving or receiving of flowers opens our hearts to the vulnerable tenderness that so desires expression.

So meaningful are flowers to us that we preserve and keep flowers, pressing them in books, tying them in boughs and hanging them on our walls, keeping them in special secret places symbolic of the recesses of our hearts.  These flowers are treasures, symbols of the memories they represent.
