I was at the office when I saw the ‘Home Concepts’ magazine and read an article about flowers. There’s something about them that seem to thrill the heart of many and I will share some of them with you :)

For centuries, the refreshing beauty of flowers have captivated and fascinated people all over the world. Flowers have always enjoyed special attention from lovers and poets through gifts and poems. These serene beauties have also found a distinct place in myths and religious symbols of different cultures. Few things can convey the meaning of love, beauty and pure innocence like flowers.

Ginger Flower symbolizes Diversity

Heliconia symbolizes Prosperity

Sunflower symbolizes Cheerfulness

Anthurium symbolizes Graciousness

Gerbera symbolizes Strength

Red Roses represents Passionate Love

Pink Roses means Sweet Love

Purple Roses stand for Romantic Love

White Roses for Pure Love

Yellow Roses means Freedom

Tulip symbolizes Comfort

Orchid symbolizes Refinement

Carnation symbolizes Warmth and Motherly Love

I am always fascinated when I receive flowers. I got the most beautiful flowers in my life last year from a colleague – it was my birthday :P sadly, I wasn’t able to take photos of them but they are lovely yellow tulips mixed with orchids from the most expensive flower shop in Ho Chi Minh City. By the way, it’s the month of flowers now, so go and grab yours :P
