Many flowers have key symbolic meanings in Modern culture. The exercise of assigning meanings to flowers is recognised as floriography. Examples of the more common examples comprise:
Red roses are given as a representation of love, beauty, and ardour which is why sending flowers such as red roses takes place at Valentines.
Poppies are a symbol of support in moment of death. In the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada, red poppies are worn to honour armed forces who have fallen in times of warfare.
Irises/Lily are used in burials as a symbol meaning “resurrection/life”. It’s also united with stars (sun) and its petals shining.
Daisies are a gesture of virtue.
Countless cultures all-round the planet have a apparent tendency to relate flowers with femininity.
The enormous range of subtle and stunning flowers has encouraged the works of various poets, especially from the 18th-19th century Romantic age. Famous examples include William Wordsworth’s Wandered Lonely as a Cloud and William Blake’s Ah! Sun-Flower.
Because of their varied and colourful look, flowers have long been a favourite subject of painters as well. Some of the most notable paintings from well-known artists are of flowers, such as Van Gogh’s sunflowers series or Monet’s water lilies. Flowers are also dried, freeze dried and pressed in order to produce lasting, 3- dimensional pieces of flower sculpture.
