I know I could look this up on the web 0 but actually I find sources that seem to conflict on the web regarding the significance and meaning of different color flowers.
Example - yellow roses have traditonally meant good-bye after a romantic involvement. I've also seen thay they mena friendship. Maybe its the degradation of a romance into a friendship that had evolved into "good bye" in some cultures. I've also seen that yellow roses can mean unfaithfullness - as in not pure white?
So it was with some interest that I waited under the Laimes Clock (a traditional romantic meeting place in Riga) while another guy stood there also waiting for his interest - carrying a single yellow rose. When they met they sure didn't seem to be breaking up.
Please explain your interpretation of a white flowers and why a thank you would be unexpected.
White flowers in most countries are sent to funeral parlors after someone dies, lol.....SO, if the lady you fancy gets your white flowers it could send a misinterpreted message that you want her to drop dead or something like that.
Specially if you send white carnations.
Flower color interpretations vary even within the same country.
You're best off asking your lady what she thinks of them.
Can't go wrong with red, though..it means love/romance/time for hanky panky jsut about everywhere on the planet.
I have never sent any of my honies in FSU any real flowers, although I know they would all love receiving them. In the meantime they're happy to receive photos of the ones in my garden, lol...
LOL, Wess
Nahh...I save the kitchen towels with floral patterns for those women who think their mere existence entitles them to material tribute from anyone interested in them.
None of my few friends from FSU falls under that bitchy category.
Toad have you seen that new AOL commercial with Kimberly climbing up on the boardroom table yet, she leaves her child with one guy at the end of the table and climbs up on to the table using this other guys head to get up, take a look and tell me what is that little message all about?
Yellow flowers spell bad luck, intentions or meaning, and are indeed used for funerals there.
White in combination sometimes also, but alone they are as fine as red roses. So no Toad, a buch of white Whatevers is fine.
Ptichka, I'm sure you could comment?
TD,
According to one of the lovelies from Tyumen, Russia yellow roses mean happiness while white flowers of any kind are for goodbye or death. Go figure.
Sounds like the only color everyone agrees on is red, lol
Wess,
Yes, I saw it. It annoyed me, of course, but nothing compared to the beer commercial that has the poor bastard a piano fall on his head, a gold ball hit him in the nuts, etc etc....all because his gf put a woodoo curse on him for something he did or did not do.
it was funny while I was taking a slow burn over that commercial,I had some conversational thoughts with you about that situation, I was trying to figure the mentality of the producer and what was their intent with that overt message?
I can call anywhere in the world for almost nothing now 0.022 cents per minute to Moscow ot Saint Pete same to California.
Cairns is not exactly a big city, rather an overgrown tourist strip.
And the water is full of things that can kill you. And so is the land, by the way.
Guys here is a list of almost every kind of flower and color and its meaning...I can't vouch for them all but my mother was a florist.
