When planting your garden, the focus is typically on the plant type and how it works with your overall aesthetic. However, you can also choose a variety of foliage that holds a special meaning to you. Whether it’s your birth month, children’s birth months, or a flower a loved one enjoys, each bloom can mean or say something special about you. You can effectively tell a story with the flowers you add to your garden. Here’s what a few of your favorite flowers have to say.
- Roses: Roses are commonly associated with holidays or special occasions, especially if they’re red. Red roses mean desire or love. Pink roses are for happiness or gentleness. While roses show innocence. Yellow roses can represent joy or a new beginning.
- Sunflowers: Sunflowers show dedicated love and a sign of adoration.
- Daisies: Daisies show innocence, hope, and purity. When it’s a brighter colored daisy it can also represent cheerfulness and jovialness.
- Peace Lily: The peace lily shows compassion and solace. In some cases, it does mean suffering a loss as well so it could be used as a memorial.
- Tulip: Tulips represent rebirth, unconditional love, and a symbol of spring.
- Violet: Violets are a dainty flower with a meaning that matches. It represents modesty and having faith whether that faith is religious or something else.
