Flowers have been used as a universal language for centuries to express emotions when words fail. Most of us are unable to differentiate flowers or remember the names of them, let alone know the meaning of it. However, certain milestones, occasions and events in life send us right to a florist.
There are no definitive meaning to flowers. Take for example, In Russia, an odd number of blooms signifies joy, and even numbers are reserved for grieving and funerals. In Belgium and Austria, the chrysanthemum is used almost exclusively as a memorial flower to honor loved ones while in Australia, chrysanthemums are the official flower for Mother’s Day due to their nickname “mums.”

Red often evokes passionate love and it is no surprise that red Tulips paired with Pink Spray roses sends a symbol of the truest love.
