SHANGRALA'S
BELOVED
FLOWER
MEANINGS!
During a trip to nature or even a short walk in the garden, we are very
impressed by the extraordinary beauty of the flowers that bloom. The
various colors and decorated petals capture our attention over and over
again, and it isn't without good reason that a bouquet of flowers is
one of the most joyous gifts you can give or receive.
Besides their beauty, different flowers symbolize many different things,
with each one holding its own meaning. The following will give you the
meanings of some of the most beautiful flowers so that you can gift
them with good intention or grow them in your garden for a good
reason! Enjoy! :)
The Peruvian lily originates in South America, growing mainly in the cool
and mountainous regions of the Andes because it does not like exposure
to the sun. It comes in a variety of colors: orange, pink, purple, red,
yellow and white. This diverse beauty makes up for the fact that,
surprisingly, this flower is odorless.
Meaning: This flower symbolizes friendship, affection, and devotion. It is
suitable as a gift among good friends. The twists in the flower represent
the tribulations of long-standing friendships, which despite all the
problems manage to be preserved by the warm and loving relationship and
common past.
The anemone flower is one of the most recognized flowers in the world. This
flower's name means "daughter of the wind," and it is called this because
of its firm stance against breezes that blow off dead petals but stand no
chance against its living. In complementary medicine, anemone leaves are
used to treat contractions, abdominal pain, and more.
Meaning: The anemone flower has a double meaning. On the one hand, it
can be given as a symbol of expectation and renewal, but for those who
observe the process of its falling leaves also attribute to it the
meaning of diminishing hope.
Carnations are also called Dianthus, which originates from the Greek word
Dios, referring to the god Zeus. Therefore, these flowers are also known
as "flowers of God." Carnations come in a variety of colors: pink, red,
burgundy, white, green, purple, yellow and striped. Each of the
different colors carries a different and special meaning.
Meaning: As a rule, carnations symbolize pride and beauty. A red carnation
describes love and admiration, while a pink clove refers directly to the
love of a woman or mother. Purple carnations represent a whim and yellow
carnations symbolize rejection or disappointment. A white carnation
embodies innocence and pure love, while a striped carnation is associated
with events that involve a feeling of missing out.
The Sakura, or cherry blossoms, are the official flowers of Japan and can
be expected to bloom during the spring months. During these months, cherry
blossoms make the cherry tree one of the most beautiful trees you can see
in nature. The great interest aroused by the flowers is related to the
color differences between the pure white flowers, the edges of which are
decorated in light pink tones, against the dark color of the tree trunk.
Meaning: In Japanese culture, this flower represents the fragility and
beauty of life. It serves as a reminder that life is a beautiful wonder,
but also very short, so it is important to pay attention to the smallest
things in life and not miss them.
Narcissus, the king of the swamp, decorated with six petals that adorn it like
a crown, is a very popular flower in the Middle East. In Greek mythology,
Narcissus was a young man who fell in love with his own reflection and
couldn't stop looking at it until he died of starvation. After his death, the
gods turned him into a flower - the narcissus, which is where it gets its
beauty from.
Meaning: Narcissus is attributed meanings related to the cycle of life. They
symbolize rebirth, a new beginning, and even eternal life. Superstition holds
that a single narcissus foretells a disaster, whereas a whole wreath
symbolizes joy and happiness.
The Freesia, which comes from warm South Africa, is one of the most fragrant
flowers, and if you smell it you will enjoy a sweet and light aroma. This
wonderful fragrance makes many companies use it as a base for perfumes,
fragrant oils, and bath soaps.
Meaning: The wonderful fragrance of the flower has made it a symbol of
innocence, caring and consideration for others. Absolutely a flower that
everyone would love to receive in a bouquet!
The Gerbera Flower has a very long life, making it a very popular flower
in all flower shops. For this reason, it is believed that it also absorbs
a lot of positive energy from the environment in which it grows, and
transmits it to those in its vicinity.
Meaning: Many believe that Gerbera flowers symbolize all the positive
attributes they convey, and attribute to them - meanings of innocence,
loyalty, and joy of life.
Because its leaves resemble the shape of a sword, the Gladiola flower
is often referred to as a 'sword lily'. Some parts of the plant are
toxic in the case of ingestion, and among some sensitive people, just
handling the flower may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction.
Meaning: Due to the sharp appearance of the flower, the meanings given
to it are strength in character, physical strength, perseverance, and
extraordinary memory.
The iris is a wonderful garden plant that blooms most often during the
spring season. It's the flower of the Greek goddess Iris, the messenger
of love. It can usually be found in purple, white, blue or yellow.
Meaning: Iris' symbolize friendship and personal closeness between people.
The purple flower is linked to wisdom, the blue expresses faith and hope
in the future, the yellow communicates passion, while white symbolizes
purity and innocence.
The Orchid is the largest plant family of 800 species of plants, including
many ornamental plants. Orchids are very responsive to the environment in
which they grow; in an environment with more plants, they tend to climb,
while in areas where bees live, they smell like bees to attract pollination.
Meaning: Orchids are very popular in bouquets meant for couples since it
is a flower that symbolizes femininity and exotic beauty. In addition,
some attribute qualities of refinement, consideration and personal charm
to the gorgeous flower.
Bird of Paradise is an ornamental flower that grows on a bush and originates
in South Africa. Its special name was given to it in the light of its
colorful look and the shape of the petals that resembled a bird with
feathers and a crown on its head. The calyx of the flower is orange in
color while the petals are colored dark blue.
Meaning: The festivity and impressive appearance of the flower symbolize joy,
happiness, and splendor. For this reason, many use it as a central flower
in bouquets designed for events such as weddings, anniversaries and more.
The peony is a large, fragrant flower that blooms in the spring and early
summer and come in shades of red, white or yellow. They are native to Asia,
southern Europe, and North America.
Meaning: The next time you spot a peony, know that the beautiful flowers
symbolize shyness, modesty, and compassion. At the same time, qualities
of good health are also attributed to it.
Yellow-orange sunflowers are part of a family of about 50 species of plants.
This flower was grown by the Native Americans for food, but after it was
distributed to Europe it was admired for its beauty and therefore used as
decoration and for healing.
Meaning: It is customary to buy sunflowers for family members or friends
that we love and appreciate since sunflowers symbolize sincerity, devotion,
boundless love and purity.
The buttercup is a perennial plant that is part of an extensive family of
over 400 species. Red, yellow, or white buttercups can be found and are
highly toxic once they are picked.
Meaning: It might be interesting to learn that the flower of the light has
many meanings. Some people see it as a flower that expresses joy of life
and even wealth, but others claim that it expresses childishness and
egocentrism and should be given to ungrateful people who have disappointed
us.
