Flowers, blooms, blossoms…call them what you will; this beautiful and colourful reproductive structure is far more than a wonderful miracle plant of nature.
Flowers possess a powerful healing essence, fragrance, and a beauty that expresses deep emotions and a wealth of sentiments.
It’s not surprising that they are often used, in a bunch or bouquet, to convey our innermost thoughts and heartfelt feelings.
Many countries throughout Europe and Asia have used the symbolic language of flowers for centuries. During the Victorian era, flowers were often used to deliver a discreet message, when words could not be spoken aloud. Even the hand that handed over the bunch of flowers was part of the secret silent dialogue – the right hand meant “yes” and the left “no”.
Flowers are especially abundant in the spring. Their radiance and colour brings a garden to life, and represents birth and new beginnings. Whether you’re cultivating a prize worthy garden or indoor floral display, or choosing a pretty posy for a gift or a special occasion, flowers will effectively get your message across.
To expand your botanical knowledge, take your pick from our listed selection of springtime flowers that symbolise thoughts, feelings and emotions. To benefit from the uplifting energy of flowers, display the colourful arrangement in a place where you can see them often. When you’re on a call to a psychic reader, breathe in the floral fragrance to enhance and balance your emotions.
