The Dictionary of flowers

Gifting flowers is akin to sending a non-verbal message. Therefore choosing the right kind of flowers is very important. In fact, it can be considered an art. And this art is not an easy one to master, considering the vast varieties to choose from.

Modern man has labeled every known flower. He has allowed his fancy to even develop hybrid strains and ascribe different meanings to each type of flower, sometimes even to different colours of the same flower. E.g. a rose if red, means love, white means friendship, pink is for puppy love, etc.

This site aims to provide the meanings, feelings and concepts associated with as many flower types as is possible.
