Favorite Flowers and Lifestyles
If one loves a flower, the only specimen of which exists among millions and millions of stars,
that is enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Flowers are beautiful, spread happiness, and speak volumes about your equation with someone who gifts them to you. Our favorite flowers don’t just make their surroundings more attractive. These blooms can say a lot about our personality type. Our flower preferences come from a subconscious part of our brain. Our flower preferences can reveal much about our personalities, lifestyles, and tastes. The time has come to journey into what your subconscious choice of flowers says about you.
Roses
The rose is the state flower of New York, and the darker red version known as Oklahoma rose is the state flower of, you guessed it, Oklahoma. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a rose with different colors can tell another story entirely. Different colored roses, like these two very different states, have many different things to say.
Pink roses will tell of your grace and tenderness. And white roses emphasize purity, innocence, reverence, and silence. Yellow roses express a passion for new beginnings, joy, and friendship. Desire and enthusiasm hide behind orange roses. The most touching coral roses symbolize friendship, modesty, and sympathy. Lavender roses are always ready to pass on love at first sight. Some people believe that the dark color of roses symbolizes mourning, sadness, and death. While others believe that it has a more joyful and better meaning: deep love and rebirth, such as with a dark crimson rose. This rose has colors such as burgundy or blood. Apart from these deep crimson rose meanings, deep red roses can represent unconscious beauty and a profound expression of love.
What will the queen of the flower world tell about rose lovers? They almost always think with their heart and choose timeless classics that never go out of style. Rose lovers know how to make a statement about themselves without any difficulties. Moreover, people who love roses also like to travel and adventure because they enjoy different cultures and their own unique cultures. For them, every season is a rose season.
Tulips
There is a correlation between a flower’s meaning and its color. Tulips can also have differences depending on their color, and their bold blooms make them an international favorite. In fact, tulips are so widely sought after that they are the national flower of several countries, namely the Netherlands, Hungary, and Kyrgyzstan.
Tulips have always been considered a symbol of perfect or true love and glory. Red tulips are heralds conveying declarations of love, while yellow tulips mean “there’s sunshine in your smile.” The purple tulip represents royalty. While dignity and forgiveness are hidden in white tulips. You can tell your loved ones about their beautiful eyes with a bouquet of colorful tulips.
Tulips are the favorite flower of thoughtful and self-confident persons. They connect easily with people and are sweet, thoughtful, and generous. These people love to travel and quickly adapt to change. They are the person to go to when someone needs excellent advice.
Favorite Flowers for a Lasting Impression: Lilacs
Purple lilac is the state flower of New Hampshire. This a choice that will make sense as you read on to learn more about what this stunning flower has to say about the people that choose it. If you want to find the biggest display of lilacs in all their beauty and diversity, you’ll need to travel to Rochester, New York, where they hold an annual lilac festival.
Overall, lilac symbolizes youthful innocence or the joy of youth. But its meaning also depends on the color. Purple lilac, for example, means first love, while white lilac symbolizes humility and innocence.
The favorite pastimes of people who prefer lilacs to other flowers are looking at old photographs from their past, rummaging through antique shops, and watching old shows. Their lifestyle is vintage and full of cozy memories.
Favorite Flowers of a Funny, Laid-back Personality
One of the strangest flowers is the symbol of friendship and showing respect for someone – daffodils. Almost everyone knows the myth about the origin of this flower, but just in case you need a refresher, keep on reading!
Daffodils are also known as narcissus, after the legendary young Greek of the same name. Narcissus was very self-confident because the gods endowed him with great beauty. One day, a sweet young wood nymph named Echo spotted Narcissus hanging out by the stream and instantly fell in love with him. However, he was so busy, completely self-absorbed, that he ignored Echo, and she languished in loneliness until disappeared only her voice left.
According to one version, the goddess Nemesis – though another myth says it was Venus, who had learned about what happened to Echo, taught Narcissus a severe lesson. She led him to a stream, where he happened to notice the most beautiful youth he had ever seen. It was his reflection, and he was so vain that he fell in love with his image, frozen, forgetting to eat and sleep. Nevertheless, the gods spared him and turned him into a flower. The bold and vibrant narcissus, or daffodil.
And how different the men who love daffodils are from the boy of myth! Lovers of daffodils put their friends and family first and love throwing events, especially if it’s a party for someone they love. Obviously, they are fun, laid-back personalities.
Sunflowers
The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. With its vast open fields and agricultural roots, this vibrant flower is a perfect choice. Sunflowers speak of devotion or faithful love, and pure thoughts. Due to their loyalty to the sun (because they turn after it), these flowers symbolize adoration.
It is typical for a person who prefers this flower to search and find new friends. They love to be among people and at the center of attention. Their lifestyle is bright, warm, and full of fun adventures with the ones they hold dear.
Favorite Flowers of Those Low-key and Out of the Spotlight
Carnations, like other flowers, hold different meanings depending on the color. This vast room for interpretation has led to variations of this flower being the symbol of several countries and territories, including the Balearic Islands, Sicily, Slovenia, and Spain. The red carnation is the state flower of Ohio.
Red carnations are love, pride, and admiration. And pink carnations symbolize love for a woman or mother. Purple carnations symbolize moodiness, yellow carnations represent disdain or rejection, striped carnations represent rejection, and white carnations mean innocence and pure love.
Carnation lovers’ best quality is that no matter what, they remain down to earth. They don’t like to be the center of attention for any reason. They like to do quieter pursuits and have a gift for learning languages.
Everyone has a favorite flower; some even have a few favorites! But no one likes every flower, and the flowers they don’t like can also tell you a bit about their subconscious and personality. Your loved ones’ flower choice can definitely reveal certain characteristics about them. In brief, if you know your partner’s identity, you can wow them with flowers to match, ensuring you always impress them with the right bouquet.
