FLOWER MEANINGS

HOW TO USE THE CHART
Since flowers come in a variety of colors, we’ve tried to break down the meanings for each flower as pertains to its color. If there is a ” – – – ” in the Color column, it means that the Flower Meanings applies to that flower in general. If there is a color in the Color column, then the meaning(s) apply to that color flower only.
