ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, helpful list, Lux! Thank you so much for sharing, and I so appreciate your precious comment left on my blog. May the dear Lord bless you abundantly for being such an encouragement to me. :) I just became your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI love them tulips and peonies too! Carnations in my country are usually considered a sign of bad taste LOL since they're usually used at funerals

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this list. Now we can get the correct flowers to convey our meaning.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know that they had different meanings, but I guess that makes sense, doesn't it? They're all so beautiful! I particularly like the calla lilys, the orchids and the iris :) It makes me excited for spring!
ReplyDeleteSo many meanings ~ I had no clue. This is an interesting post today, Lux.

it's so nice to learn their meanings so once you offer someone a flower.. you can tell them the reason why you picked that kind of flower
ReplyDeleteThanks for a thorough explanation of the meanings of the flowers. I pinned it.

I guess I never knew different flowers had different meanings! I know one thing that makes getting flowers better -- getting them at work where all your friends can see that you are loved! It is the only bad thing about being retired!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Always loved Stargazers and daisies! :)

I'm going to be honest - I don't know a lot about flowers! I do love red and white roses especially (those are my two favourite kind of flowers, even if it is a cliche :P) so it was nice to learn a little more about other ones and especially their meanings. Meaning is what intrigues me the most.
ReplyDeleteNice colors ;)

Really interesting. You forget that people used to,attach so much meaning to flowers. Now, I think the meaning has been lost as it's whatever was on special,when they were choosing. Have a lovely week :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, interesting Post!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day, lovely Greetings <3
Well done! I absolutely had fun reading this. Happy Monday!
