Thanks to the language of flowers, also known as floriography, a popular hobby in the Victorian Era, we can uncover what your favourite flower really says about you.
Ever wondered what your flower-loving friends are thinking when they spot your favourite blooms around your home? We’ve got the answers. Here’s what 10 of the most popular flowers say about your personality.
Tulip
One of the world’s most recognisable flowers, and a favourite amongst many, beautiful tulips are rich in history and symbolism. Carrying sentiments of unconditional love, if tulips are your favourite flowers you’re a warm-hearted and thoughtful person who cares deeply about others. You’re resilient and forward-thinking too, always trying to make the best of every situation.
Rose
Roses have many different meanings, with each colour carrying a special sentiment. In general though, if roses are forever your favourite, it’s a clear sign that you’re full of love and gratitude. As a multifaceted person, you may seem a little mysterious at first. But, as soon as you get to know someone, you’re affectionate and caring. And, of course, you’re a lover of classic, timeless blooms so it’s no surprise you appreciate the simple and elegant things in life.
Lily
Beautiful lilies are refined and elegant, often chosen for weddings as a symbol of commitment. If this is your favourite flower, there’s no doubt that you’re a deeply loyal person who values love and friendship – and you’re not afraid to show it. Your inner strength sees you through life’s challenges, and your compassion allows you to nurture all those around you.
Peony
Peonies are a firm-favourite amongst floral fans, and it’s not hard to see why. A bunch of these lush blooms instantly brighten up any bouquet, so it’s no surprise that they carry warm sentiments of luck and prosperity. If peonies are your favourite, you’re a positive and warm person who is full of optimism and knows that there is joy to be found in every day.
Sunflower
Cheery sunflowers turn to face the sun and are a true symbol of adoration and devotion. If your favourite flower is a sunflower, then it’s likely that you’re an extroverted and vibrant person who is naturally upbeat and loves to be around others. You also love to be in the middle of the action and aren’t afraid to make a statement – and thanks to your sunny personality, others thrive off your energy.
Chrysanthemum
Like most flowers, chrysanthemum’s symbolism varies from culture to culture. But, in general, if ‘mums’ (which they are affectionately called in Australia) are your favourites, it tells us you’re a mature and grounded person who really values meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Loyalty and honesty are so important to you, which is why your friends know they can always rely on you.
Daffodil
A popular flower that’s closely tied to ideas of friendship, gratitude and new beginnings, daffodil fans are fun, laid back and always bring the good vibes. But, we won’t be fooled by your uplifting personality. We know you feel deeply passionate about your friendships and will always stick by your loved ones, through thick and thin.
Hydrangea
Delicate hydrangeas add a touch of luxury to any bouquet, and are rich in symbolism. Often associated with gratitude, sincerity, and deep emotions, you likely care deeply about others and value genuine emotional connections in your life. When it comes to your style, you’re oh-so-elegant.
Orchid
Some orchid species are rather rare so it’s likely you have a little bit of mystery that really draws people in. As a resilient plant, it can thrive in many conditions, suggesting you’re rather self-sufficient and not afraid of a challenge. You’ve got this!
Carnation
A symbol of deep love and commitment, if carnations are your favourite flower it suggests you’re really grounded and down-to-earth. You have a quiet strength that sees you through challenging situations and you really value loyalty in your relationships.
