Since time immemorial, flower symbolism has been used to private correspondence and expressing unspoken feelings. People became especially fascinated by flower symbolism during the Victorian Era and books explaining "flower language" were nearly as common as the Bible in Victorian homes. Here are some common meanings of flowers:
Daisy - new beginnings
Sunflower - adoration, loyalty
Iris - faith, trust, wisdom, hope
Zinnia - thoughts of absent friends
Rose - joy, happiness, love
Poppy - remembrance of fallen soldiers
How about our Washington lilac?
