flower & plant symbolism
Over the years, I have been developing a collection of flower and plant symbolisms from many different sources - cultural texts, seed catalogs, religious writings and of course internet searches to name a few. I don't claim to be an expert, but I find them fascinating.
I encourage you to consider what a flower or plant represents to you personally - I'd love to add your thoughts to my list! By selecting flowers with specific significance, you not only carry beautiful flowers, you carry beautiful wishes as well.
