    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Many people are particular about the type of flower when choosing a floral gift. But flower color is equally, if not more, important. Each color has its own emotional message.

    Red and Pink

    Red flowers are vibrant, symbolizing desire and passion, strength and courage. Pink flowers, less forceful than red, express youth and happiness.

    Orange and Yellow

    Orange flowers send a message of confidence and express the giver's warmth and enthusiasm. Yellow flowers symbolize happiness and cheer. Yellow roses are a well-known symbol of friendship.

    Green and Blue

    The color most representative of nature, green represents nurturing and health. It is also the color of money, symbolizing good fortune. The color of the sky and the sea, blue flowers are calming and send a message of tranquility and relaxation.

    Purple and Lavender

    Purple is a dignified shade, and flowers of this color send a message of admiration or achievement. Lavender, a lighter shade of purple, expresses femininity, grace and elegance.

    White

    White flowers have long represented purity and goodness, and they send a message of modesty and humility. White flower arrangements can also have an air of sophistication.
