What do the colors of flowers mean? Is red always for passion?
In Victorian times flowers had assigned meanings but even then there was much discrepancy. Men would commission their florist to create a bouquet and therefore a “special message” which he would send to his beloved. It was up to his lady friend to decipher or “de-code” the meaning. Today there are so many flowers and colors that this tradition no longer applies. It is true that red flowers are traditionally associated with romantic love but this is not the rule. Flowers today have a much broader vocabulary and a favorite color or flower can express just the right sentiment.
