Flowers don’t talk, but they do have a language.
For example, giving someone a geranium is like saying, “You’re childish.” Giving someone a red rose means, “I love you.” But if you send someone a wild tansy, you’ve just declared war!
Other flowers have other meanings: peace, love, friendship—or just plain “welcome.” They serve as symbols in weddings and funerals, of course. They are also popular at parades, holidays, festivals, and even at sporting events.
