From weddings to funerals to birthdays and everything in between, the beauty of flowers always seems to evoke the perfect sentiment for every occasion. Although each flower possesses its own charm, most people can’t help but play favorites. Next time you select a floral arrangement, consider what your choice of flowers says about you.

3 Flower Meanings to Know  

1. Roses

Red roses have long represented love and desire; however, each color of the timeless flower possesses its own unique meaning. For instance, white roses symbolize purity or new beginnings, while pink roses demonstrate grace and happiness. Gift your pal with a yellow rose, as they mean friendship—or consider surprising your new love interest with a lavender one, as it means, “love at first sight.”

2. Lily

Ancient Greeks revered the flower, believing it stems from the milk of Hera, the queen of the gods. While white lilies tend to symbolize purity and virtue, stargazer lilies represent sympathy. White lilies are frequently seen as a symbol of mourning at funerals, but yellow and orange ones can mean friendship and prosperity.

3. Sunflower

The sunflower is a free-spirited, sunshiny, easy-to-grow flower. It may come as no surprise that ancient people associated the flower’s golden hue with warmth and positivity. Often compared to the sun, the flower also symbolizes strength, power, and happiness. Whether you plant some seedlings in your backyard or give them to a loved one in a floral arrangement, most people can’t help but love this fun flower.
