Even though all of us are aware of the fact that each flower carries with it a symbolic meaning attached to it, we still cannot boast of a thorough knowledge of the symbolic significance of each flower. For instance, did you know that the delicate ‘Pansy’ is the flower that you should present to your beloved on your first wedding anniversary, ‘Daffodils’ on your tenth wedding anniversary and ‘Rose’ on your fifteenth wedding anniversary? Likewise, there are different flowers that are symbolically attached to each advancing year of matrimonial bliss that you enjoy as a couple, from the first anniversary onwards. It is indeed foolish to look around for ostentatious man made gifts when nature has provided us with the most beautiful way of saying ‘I love you’ to someone special. Symbolic significance aside, flowers enjoy an eminent position in any episode of romantic entanglement. No Romeo worth his salt would skip presently his beautiful beloved with a passionate bouquet of red roses. Since Victorian times, flowers have been used as a perfect carrier of love and desire, with different flowers used to convey the different shades of love. In the Victorian times, people were well aware of the symbolic significance of each flower and therefore, a careful selection of flowers was able to convey the accurate feelings of the sender. This tradition has sustained itself over the centuries and flowers still remain the most perfect gift to be sent across to the lovely lady you admire and love. The popular flowers that were used in the Victorian times to carry the message of love were ‘Daisies’ that denote purity and innocence, ‘Roses’ that are the quintessential messengers of passionate love, ‘Lilacs’ that symbolize springtime and young love, ‘Callas’ that signify love and wisdom shared over a period of time, Carnations’ that signify innocent love and ‘Freesia’ that denotes trust and loyalty. So, when you choose a floral gift for your anniversary, pick a bouquet of the above mentioned flowers keeping in mind the feeling that you want to convey. There are popular romantic legends associated with all the flowers that are usually used to convey feelings of love and romance. For instance, it is believed that the delicate pansy got its vibrant hues when it was pieced by the cupid’s arrow. The pretty daisy was created when a beautiful maiden transformed herself into a flower to save herself from the God of forests who fell in love with her. The Greek legend associated with the flower that remains close to the heart of everyone who has loved, ‘Rose’, says that the Rose was created out of a spilled vase of nectar that cupid was carrying to the council of gods.
