What flowers really say — from roses to sunflowers, from Father's Day to New Year's Eve
Flowers speak their own language. For centuries, they have carried messages—from love and loyalty to comfort and joy. Here you can learn what your favorite flowers mean and which flowers are suitable for which occasion.
In the language of flowers —also known as floriography—every bloom has a meaning. What began in Victorian England as a secret means of communication is still alive today: The red rose stands for love, the forget-me-not for remembrance, and the sunflower for joie de vivre.
