MEANINGSLEGEND OF FLOWERS Henry Ward Beecher once said “Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made,and forgot to put a soul into” Flowers may not have a soul, but they definitely have a way touching our souls. Hear the word flowers and a spectacular world of colors materializes. Each flower color signifies a deeper meaning and expresses a feeling. Every flower tells a story. A red rose given to a true love, a daisy（雏菊） peeking out of a buttonhole, a bundle of violets handed demurely （庄严地）to a crush （梦中情人，迷恋的对象）each conveys a different sentiment（情感）. Flowers, plants, and herbs（香草） have been used as symbols since antiquity（古代）, but the romantic custom of using flowers to converse （交流）began to flourish （盛行）in the 19th century. Courting（谈情说爱的） couples used blooms to declare their affection even when the strict etiquette （礼节）of the times prohibited them from speaking openly, a method of communicating that became nearly an art. So, just enter the world of flowers and let the flower colors guide you! An ill considered choice of blooms could leave a suitor’s amorous intention (求爱者的满腔爱意)misunderstood, whereas the right flower needed no explanation. If a lady was given a spray of red tulips（郁金香）, for instance, she knew her gentleman caller was smitten . If the ardor（热诚）was returned, she might send him a bouquet of lilacs（紫丁香）. But if she chose to respond with an arrangement of ivy（常春藤）, he’d realize a romance probably would not blossom.
