What Flowers Mean...

Just as deep red roses today are a sign of passionate love,it used to be that every flower had a particular meaning.Lovers-or would-be lovers-used to sent each other carefully chosen posies.Even friends might do the same,to apologise after a qurrel,or as a sign of affection on a birthday. Amaranth=Unfading love Ambrosia=Love returned The bud of a white rose=A heart ignorant of love Red Chrysanthemum=I love Yellow Chrysanthemum=Slighted love Clarkia=Will you dance with me? White Clover=Think of me Daffodil=Regard Forget-me-not=true love French marigold=Jealousy Heliotrope=Devotion Red carnation=Alas for my poor heart Jonquil=I desire a return of affection Pineapple flower=You are perfect Rose=Love Yellow Rose=Jealousy Spiderwort=Esteem,not love Red tulip=Declaration of love Yellow tulip=hopeless love Violet=Faithfulness
