In http://www.beyondblossoms.com/flower_meanings.php, there are various flowers/plants wherein some has the same meaning but others are different from the previous description of flowers I have discussed like:
Carnations which means fascination, devoted Love, Chrysanthemum which means cheerfulness, innocence, Dahlia which means dignity, elegance, Lilies which means purity, faith, friendship, devotion, sophistication, beauty, Orchids which means seduction, preciousness; Roses which means I love you, unconscious beauty; White roses which means spiritual love, purity; Yellow roses which means joy, gladness; Orange roses: fascinated, enthusiastic; Pink roses which means grace, gentility and Tulips which means perfect lover, fame
But for me, no matter what the explanation of the flower has, the most important is that we are happy to see these flowers that were given to us by our God in order for us to appreciate, value and treasure the gift that He had given to us, and that’s what matter the most.
