Today, flowers tend to be associated with an overall gesture, whether it is one of romance on Valentine's Day, filial love on Mother's Day, or a "get well soon" when someone is ill. Throughout the centuries however, flowers have been attributed far deeper significance, even going so far as to have their own "language", referred to as floriography.
Not only have flowers been deigned to have more symbolic meanings than the romantic or congratulatory tokens we associate them with in modern times, they can also express particular phrases and emotions.
. Moreover, the right flower in the wrong colour can express exactly the opposite of what you intended. So, say it with flowers, but be careful what it is you are actually saying.
