Flower Meanings
Recently I have been exploring the world of old school flower symbolism and how Victorians had a trend of using flower boquets to send secret messages. Sounds like something out of a spy movie right? Well I wanted to share here some of the flower meanings I've come across. This is as much a database for me as one for all of you haha.
The background image is of some marshmellow flowers which means sweet disposition which I just think is nice (Its also a very nice song by The Temper Trap), I might change it to something more personal when I think of it but for now its good.
| Flower name | Image | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marshmallow Plant (Althaea officinalis) |  |
Sweet disposition | Currently the background I'm using we'll see how long it stays that way |
| Almond Tree (Prunus amygdalus) | flower pic | Despair, Indiscretion, Thoughtlessness, A blunder | The meanings behind this is due to the Almond tree blossoming very early into spring where the frost tends to freeze their flowers. |
| Adonis (Adonis annua) | flower pic | Sorriful rememberance | Adonis was in Roman mythology, killed while hunting a boar and the tears that Venus shed lead to these flowers blooming. |
| Amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) | flower pic | Immortality | These flowers never wilt instead dry out while keeping their colours. It is also associated with death where it is said that the soul may search for these before reaching eternity. (I feel like its more greek mythology stuff but I havent fact checked this.) |
