We don’t really think about the meaning of flowers today whenever we give them, we just pick out a pretty flower and we give it to someone but actually the real meaning behind flowers and their secret language has been lost.
The Victorians used flowers as a discreet form of communication. During the 18th century sending flower messages based on a Turkish secret language of flowers became popular. This was known as sending a ‘Persian Salaam’ – a coded bouquet to reveal your feelings of love or attraction. The Victorians became very knowledgeable in flower language and chose and arranged their bouquets carefully.
Of course all flowers deal with love and appreciation in some way or another, but their color or arrangement can mean different things.
For example, back then red roses stood for love as they do today, but yellow roses stood for jealousy. If you sent yellow carnations to someone, it meant you were rejecting them.
The study of the meaning of flowers is an actual science known as floriography, and it reveals an extra underlying meaning to sending or receiving flowers – subtle and secret messages can be passed through the different type of flowers.
“How charmingly a young gentleman can speak to a young lady, and with what eloquent silence in this delightful language.”
Many of these secret meanings behind flowers have been forgotten over the centuries, but if there’s something you want to say to someone, nothing says it like flowers.
Here are some selected list of flowers and their particular symbolic meanings:
* Aloe meaning – Grief
* Alstroemeria meaning – Devotion; friendship
* Alyssum meaning – Worth beyond beauty
* Ambrosia meaning – Love returned
* Aster meaning – Love; daintiness
* Azalea meaning – Take care of yourself for me; fragile passion; temperance;
* Baby’s Breath meaning – Everlasting love; happiness; pure in heart
* Begonia meaning – Beware
* Bluebell – constancy and everlasting love
* Calendula meaning – Joy
* Carnation meaning (in general) – Bonds of affection; health and energy;
* Chysanthemum meaning (in general) – Cheerfulness; You’re a wonderful friend
* Daisy meaning – Innocence; loyal love; purity; faith; cheer; simplicity
* Iris meaning – Faith; hope; wisdom and valour; my compliments; eloquence;
* Larkspur meaning (pink) – Fickleness; levity
* Lily meaning (general) – Purity
* Orange Blossom meaning – Wisdom; purity; eternal love;
* Orchid meaning – Love; beauty; refinement; you flatter me
* Queen Anne’s Lace meaning – Fantasy
* Ranunculus meaning – You are radiant with charms
* Tulip(general) meaning – Fame; charity; declaration of love
There’s certainly more to the meaning behind flowers than you might realize. Get out a dictionary of flowers and have fun exploring the multiple interpretations, ambiguous meanings and historical contexts behind flowers and find out what else lies behind their beautiful presence.

Ragdy Ann and Andy help?
I was just cast in a play called Raggedy Ann and Andy’s Birthday Party. I got the part of Suzi Pincushion. Does anyone know who she is in the story?
I’m not familiar with this character, but found animation drawings of her at the below link. imdb lists a video from 1977, Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical. You can rent it at Blockbuster Online – here’s the link: http://www.blockbuster.com/catalog/movieDetails/89051
Sorry, but that’s all I’m coming up with. Congratulations on your part. Even if you don’t rent the movie, that’s okay. You can really make the part your own without being influenced by the movie.
