Flowers have the potential to communicate much more than “Happy Mothers Day” or “I love you.” Since ancient times, flowers have been a secret language to communicate the states of the soul. In both the East and the West, flowers have been imbued with complex symbolism. This symbolism can be seen in mythology, folklore, Shakespearean literature and historical accounts. The appearance of a certain flower can be used to communicate a wide range of meanings, from “I’m in love with you, too,” to “I disdain your offer.” 

In addition to communicating feelings to other people, though, flowers hold rich symbolism for the different qualities that distinguish unique souls. The symbolism within flowers comes from an acquaintance with the life and appearance of the flower itself. Consider how the resilient life of a desert cactus blossom stands apart from that of a lush hibiscus flower, blooming in the abundant rains of a jungle. The scent and particular beauty of each flower grows out of the landscape and environment in which it flourishes. 

What environment cultivates your being to blossom? Do you thrive in a rocky desert mountain slope, or do you need ample water, sunshine and shade to open out in your full beauty? Tell us what makes you grow, and we’ll identify which flower represents your soul!
