Now that spring is here, flowers will be blooming everywhere – I love it! Spring is a wonderful time for giving flowers to the ones you love: at Easter, on Mother’s Day, at bridal and wedding showers, for birthdays, etc. Did you ever wonder what meaning different flowers have? Historically, giving flowers has been used to symbolize various sentiments.
Today, I am sharing the meaning of some of the most popularly sent flowers. I got the beautiful images for this post from Brisbane flower delivery from fresh flowers.
