Introduction

When you think about the meaning of flowers, you might be tempted to reach for a dusty old book by a long-dead author. However, the best place to look for the meaning of flowers is in your own heart—or on Google. Flower meanings and symbolism have been around for centuries and vary from culture to culture. You can also find flower meanings in a Victorian-era guide, which grew out of the language of flowers popular among European aristocracy during that time period. The Victorians loved sending coded messages through arrangements and bouquets, as well as wreaths, posies, garlands, topiaries, nosegays—and more! So if you’re looking for ways to express how you feel without saying it out loud (so bold!), consider using these popular flowers and their gorgeous meanings:

Snapdragons

Snapdragons are beautiful flowers that represent power and strength. They can be used in flower arrangements, flower pots, and other containers to symbolize someone who is powerful or influential. Snapdragons are often found in bouquets for weddings because of their symbolism.

Snapdragons grow best in full sun, but they tolerate partial shade well as long as it’s not too dark—they will grow lanky and leggy under these conditions. If you live somewhere with high humidity like Florida or Louisiana snapdragons may be the perfect choice for your garden; otherwise try another type of drought-tolerant plant instead! Snapdragon plants prefer drier weather so keep an eye out for signs of rot if it gets too wet outside (roots exposed).

Orchids

Orchids symbolize beauty, loveliness, and refinement. They are associated with romance and passion as well as being a symbol of your love for someone. A bouquet of orchids is the perfect romantic gift for your significant other on Valentine’s Day or their birthday, but you can also give them just because! Orchids have some wonderful meanings behind them when used in flower pot arrangements that many people are unaware of:

• Orchids represent elegance and grace
• Orchids symbolize your purest feelings towards another person
• You can use orchids to show someone how much they mean to you

Sunflowers

• Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness and warmth.
• Sunflowers are a symbol of love and friendship.
• Sunflowers are a symbol of forgiveness. The face-like shape of this flower represents looking forward to the future instead of dwelling on the past, which is why it’s often used at funerals or memorial services as well as on birthdays to celebrate another year in someone’s life (and all they have experienced during that time).
• Sunflowers are also used to convey gratitude because they bloom when there isn’t much light left in day around them—in other words, they grow tall enough so that their heads can reach up towards the sun (the source). People will sometimes buy these flowers as gifts for special occasions such as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day because it demonstrates gratitude for everything both parents have done for their children over the years; however, if you aren’t sure whether your parents might prefer something else instead, it would probably be best just not mention anything about this meaning unless they bring up something specific first! This way then there won’t be any awkwardness later 🙂

Fuchsias

Fuchsias are a genus of flowering plants that are native to South America. Fuchsias are known for their colorful flowers and have been used in flower planters, flower arrangements, and bouquets for many years.

#In the United States, fuchsias have been cultivated since the early 1700s. The popularity of fuchsia flowers has grown over time and today they can be found at grocery stores and nurseries across the country.

Calendula (Pot Marigold)

Calendula (Pot Marigold)

Calendula is a plant that is often used in flower arrangements. Calendula is a perennial plant that is native to the Mediterranean region. Calendula is a member of the daisy family, and it grows from an underground root called a corm. The corm produces small white flowers with yellow centers, which bloom from May until October depending on your climate zone. If you’re growing calendula in your garden or yard, it will attract butterflies and bees because they love to pollinate its bright yellow petals!

The chrysanthemum represents prosperity. In China and Japan (where they originated), the chrysanthemum was considered a sign of good luck and fortune; in fact, many people put them in their homes during the year so they’ll get rich quick!

Flower meanings can be important to the person who made the arrangement.

Flowers can have many meanings. They can be important to the person who made the arrangement, but they may also change over time and vary depending on where you live or your cultural background.
