Five Flowers That Express Surprising Sentiments

Using flowers to express yourself is the language of flowers, or floriography.

It’s well known that a red rose symbolises love, but what’s not as well-known is that most flowers have a sentiment they convey. You may be surprised to learn what some of those expressions are. 

If you know someone who is going through a sorrowful or tough time you could say “My thoughts are with you”, by giving them a bunch of calendula. These cheerful looking orange or yellow flowers are certain to brighten any room. 

After having a wonderful visit with someone, nothing could be better than giving them a bouquet of delicate and fragrant sweet peas to say “Thank you for a lovely time.”

This next one has to be one of my favourite sentiments a flower has - “There is sunshine in your smile.” Which flower expresses that? The yellow tulip.

A unique way to thank someone for their support would be to give them a petunia plant. It expresses the sentiment “Your presence soothes me”. 

And to round up my top five is the pansy, which simply says “I’m thinking of you”.
