| Thousands of people purchase flowers for their loved ones every day – both on red-letter days or particular dates, and just to impress their loved ones. This simple element of our everyday life still constitutes one of the longest traditions in the human history. Flowers have held the first place throughout the history of mankind. Signs of their popularity are presented in different myths, folk tales, and religious texts. Some kinds of flowers were applied for food and are still used as food till the present day; others are famous for healing properties and are used as medical products. They were used by Romans and Greeks a number of centuries ago as people at that time believed that the fragrance of flowers purifies the atmosphere and decreases intoxication. Even celebrated conquerors famous for their ruthlessness and brutality at war kept exotic gardens at home. Owing to the high appreciation of flowers by mankind they became symbols of different nations. So, a rose represents the national emblem of England, Honduras and Iran. Italy in its turn is represented by a lily, Brazil by a Cattleya, Russia by a sunflower, Japan by a chrysanthemum etc. The most significant function of flowers, however, is their ability to wake up profound human thoughts and emotions the way no other item can. These plants miraculously embody beauty and tenderness. They can raise the spirits or to inspire on generous actions. A small bunch of flowers on a table is a symbol of coziness. That is the reason why women, and especially housewives, try to include fresh flowers in their planned expenses. But flowers are symbolic not only in the mentioned way. Every flower has its own meaning, and in such a way it can help to express people's feelings perfectly. Flowers have been used for years to send various messages. For instance, the red carnation means “my heart aches for you”. The recipient could send a cabbage rose back (that would mean “I confess my love”) or a dried up white rose which in flower language would mean “you leave me cold”. Now the most widespread way to say about your feeling is sending a decorated floral composition of 3 long-stemmed red roses to the lady you adore. |
