Can you express yourself with the help of flowers? Here are the clues that may help you do it! Come and see!

Today we almost always can express our feelings freely. People of the Victorian Era couldn't boast of such freedom.

Trying to transfer their thoughts without saying, they used the language of flowers.

The language of flowers was invented in The East. Eastern people accepted following features as important ones:
- The time flowers were gifted;
- The way the person granting the bunch of flowers holds it;
- The way the inflorescences directed: up or down;
- The hand the bucket of flowers is held;
- Embellishment of the flowers with green;
- Having the thorns of a rose removed.

Another important thing is the color of flowers. We have got the interpretation of the basic colors for you:
Red - the color of life and love (thereby roses are the symbol of love and carnations are the symbol of passion). Besides, the red color can denote blood, anger and revenge.
White - the symbol of purity and innocence (lily).
Black - the symbol of grief and mourning.
Yellow - the color of disgust and hatred, except for the gold color: it denotes the sun and joy.
Green - the symbol of hope.
Sky blue - the color of gods.
Blue - the symbol of loyalty.
Purple - the symbol of majesty.

More than that, the sort of flowers is another thing that matters.

I don't think the flower color yellow should represent anything negative. It is a bright & cheery color - meant to be uplifting.

Never heard that yellow flowers represented any thing negative and don't buy it.

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? - Severus Snape - Harry Potter and the Philosopher/Sorcerer's Stone. Asphodel is a flower part of the Lily family, and symbolised regret. Wormwood is a plant that represented absence and created loss. So in his own cryptic way, our potioneer was saying that his feelings towards Harry's mother would go with him to the grave, of which, indeed they did.

I love flowers and their colours, especially the gold yellow. It is said that yellow also means jealousy, but depends on the colour. There are different shades of yellow.
