To say I love you, call your favorite florist and arrange for a delivery of red-colored flowers. When ordering your flower delivery consider the history and meaning behind the flowers you choose. Different flowers and colors all have an interesting history and a unique sentiment.
As far back as Shakespeare we know plants and flowers had special meanings since Ophelia talks about \"rosemary for remembrance\" and other flowers in one of her speeches. The more modern meanings of flowers arose in the very proper and social restrictive Victorian era when everything was formal and a person could not just openly declare their intentions.
Writing a passionate love letter or flirting eye-to-eye was considered inappropriate, so bouquets of flowers often took their place. There were complex guides to the meanings of different types of flowers and their hues, so the recipient of a bouquet could translate the message behind the flowers sent.
Rose bouquets have always been popular, and roses also star in mixed-flower arrangements. Red roses are well known to celebrate passionate love, and roses of other colors have their own meanings. White roses symbolize purity and are often seen at weddings. When different colors are combined, the meaning becomes even more complex.
Prior to the 18th century the only roses available were in shades of white to red. During this time the yellow rose appeared, but the color was associated with fading love, infidelity and jealousy. Over time, the negative feelings surrounding the yellow rose gave way to that of other yellow flowers whose color resembled the light and joy of the sun. The modern meaning of the yellow rose has become associated with the feelings of welcome, happiness, friendship and celebration.
If you should travel to Texas, you'll discover that the people there feel yellow roses can signify passion too. This is due to a famous old tune called "The Yellow Rose of Texas". Although this little ditty is actually about a girl named Rose, history tells us that a new rose, dubbed Harrison's Yellow, was first bred shortly before the song was initially recorded and might have been the true inspiration for these lyrics. Whichever the case may be, yellow roses still enjoy enormous popularity with Texans these days.
