There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875
Red Roses
The red rose is the ideal expression of love. It is the symbol of passionate devotion. If you’re choosing flowers that say you are head over heels in love with your valentine, send roses.
Red and White Carnations
Red and white are the colors of loving unity between two people. Red carnations symbolize deep love, while the white represent purity and innocence. Send your valentine a mixture of red and white carnations if you want the world to know you are hopelessly united in love.
Tulips
Be mindful of the color when selecting tulips. Color makes a big difference. Red tulips represent undying, limitless love. Yellow tulips can symbolize hopeless love, making them a bitter-sweet love flower. Send yellow tulips if you love her unconditionally without expecting love in return.
Primrose
The primrose specifically represents the sweet innocence of love just budding. Give your valentine primroses to reveal your romantic intentions in the relationship.
