The Real Message Behind Flower Giving

Beautiful as they are, flowers are not just beautiful displays of petals and stems. It is many things to many people. Whatever emotions or feelings or thoughts you wish to convey, flowers can do that for you without saying a single word.

People give blossoms for a variety of reasons. Blooms utter their message so they find it easier to convey their feelings by giving them without uttering a word. Perhaps you want to tell your girl “I love you” or your colleague “thank you.” Maybe you think the woman you saw in the elevator is “the one” or you want to say “I’m sorry” to your best friend. Or maybe, your wife would welcome flowers “just because.”

People think that flowers have their own meanings. That is true, of course. But what they don’t know is that the secret of flowers isn’t found with its blooms or types or color. It lies with the giver. While it is true that giving them communicates the giver’s message, flowers are actually just an empty canvass for your thoughts. You may not have the right words to say, but you have the right sentiments and thoughts to tell your loved ones. You may not be able to say them out loud, but flowers can. That’s exactly what they are. A beautiful but clean canvass for your sentiments.

Flowers are no doubt beautiful. You can give the reddest rose or the purest white lily you can get, but if not for your sentiments, they are just physically gorgeous. They can be the radiant light in a dark room or the peace in a busy morning. But what makes them exceptional is how you desire them to be. How you want your loved ones to feel upon receiving them.

That is exactly why a single rose bud can convey a much stronger emotion to the person who has received it than a grand bouquet can. Your sentiments, feelings, and emotions are the ones that matter; the blossoms just express them. That is what makes them special and alive.

It is said that flowers neither have conflict nor emotions that is why they are peaceful to look at. They are there to help you channel what you truly feel. They may be beautiful and lovely, but their true beauty lies with how you love and give.

And that is the mystery of flowers.
