Love Flowers

Flowers are often used to express feelings of love.Floral language has played a significant role in courtship since earliest times and continues today. Here is a list of flowers of love:

Carnation, Pink.....Woman's love

Lilac, Purple.....First emotions of love

Rose, Cabbage.....Ambassador of love

I always imagined a romance like this....

"Sometimes our life reminds me
of a forest in which there is a graceful clearing
and in that opening a house,
an orchard and garden,
comfortable shades and flowers
red and yellow in the sun, a pattern
made in the light for the light to return to.
The forest is mostly dark, its ways
to be made anew day after day, the dark
richer than the light and more blessed,
provided we stay brave
enough to keep on going in...."

"I  give you what is unbounded, passing from dark to dark,
containing darkness: a night of rain, an early morning.
I give you the life I have let live for love of you:
a clump of orange-blooming weeds beside the road,
the young orchard waiting in the snow, our own life
that we have planted in this ground, as I
have planted mine in you. I give you my love for all
beautiful and honest women that you gather to yourself
again and again, and satisfy...and this poem,
no more mine than any man's who has loved a woman.

Wendell Berry, from "The Country of Marriage"
