 The Language of Flowers
According to old traditions, sending different kinds of flowers sends a secret message to the one you love. Here are a few of these secret flower messages:
- Red roses = I love you!
- Yellow roses = I love you, but I don't know if you love me."
- White roses = Our love is pure.
- Four leaf clovers = a wish for good luck.
- Orange blossoms = everlasting love.
- Bleeding Heart = Hopeless, but not heartless.
- Gardenia = I love you secretly.

- Lily-of-the-Valley = Let us make up.
- Rose - I love you passionately.
- Sweet William = You are gallant, suave and perfect.
