hvnt started reading yet, just browsing through when i came across this short article : Say It With Flowers.
hmm… quite interesting coz roses seems to be the flower-of-choice for most ppl… but these flowers hv their special meanings too… and honestly, i do prefer these flowers to roses *ahem, a hint to a special somebody dis*
Sunflowers
Like the sun, sunflowers symbolise warmth, adoration and happiness. Perfect for cheering up a friend who’s ill or feeling down.
Tulips
A great alternative to roses, tulips generally symbolise perfect love, making them a fitting choice for wedding anniversaries *ahem*. Tell someone they have beautiful eyes with variegated tulips.
Carnations
One of the world’s most popular flowers. Pink carnations, a favourite on Mother’s Day, express gratitude while dark red carnations convey love and affection.
Stargazer Lilies
These are bold and exuberant flowers. Pink stargazer lilies, a symbol of wealth and aspiration, are particularly appropriate to express congratulations to someone.
Gerbera Daisies
Lively and vibrant, gerbera daisies convey a message of cheer and are thought to symbolise innocence and purity. A great choice for birthdays.
