From the ancient times people of different cultures use flowers not only for decoration purposes, but also as symbols. Presenting a flower or a bouquet could mean a declaration of love, a manifestation of admiration, or anger, or even envy. Properly composed bouquet could say a lot in many cultures – it may warn of a danger or confess eternal love to someone. Every detail plays role here – colors, the number and size of flowers, the foliage, etc. Actually, every flower could be considered as a message, and, there also could be a reply. This kind of correspondence is much more romantic and much more powerful than usual. Now some of the flowers meanings are forgotten- well, let's remember them. After all, it is worth knowing about why we like or dislike some colors.
