Tulip
The tulip originated as a wildflower in Persia. In the 1500s, tulips were extensively cultivated in Turkey. Based on their resemblance to the "tulbend," a turban worn by Turkish men, they were called tulipan. In 1562, tulip bulbs from Constantinople reached Antwerp by ship. Before the turn of the century, tulips had been so rare that only the wealthiest that in Holland could afford them. It was for this reason that tulips became an obvious status symbol for the rich. By the 1620s, merchants the world over began buying and selling tulips. "Tulip madness" was the result. Tulip trading crashed in 1637, throwing Holland into financial ruin. The Dutch government enacted strict laws for cultivating and selling bulbs, and, appropriately, the tulip became the national emblem of Holland.

Legend tells of a Persian youth, named Ferhad, who fell in love with a young woman named Shirin. She did not reciprocate his feelings for her, so he went out into the desert to die, presumably from a broken heart. As his heart ached, his tears fell into the sand and turned into beautiful tulips. Amongst the Persians, the tulip is an offering a young man makes to his beloved. What he is saying in the Language of Flowers is "as the redness of this flower, I am on fire with love." Shortly after World War II, the Dutch shipped hundreds of thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa, the capital of Canada. This symbolic gesture showed their thanks to the Canadian soldiers for freeing Holland from German occupation, and also the way Canada's government welcomed Queen Maria to remain in Ottawa while the during the war.

Color messages abound with tulips which primarily express a declaration of love in a gift from a lover. Variegated tulips are for "beautiful eyes." Red tulips indicate an irresistible love, and yellow tulips indicate hopeless love that has no chance of reconciliation. Tulips that are combined in color express other messages, Red and yellow roses together are an expression of congratulations, while yellow and orange roses together imply passionate thoughts. Red and white roses signify unity.

Veronica symbolizes fidelity......... ooooppsss.... careful guys !!

From the beginning of recorded history, men and women have assigned special significance to different flowers.

Did you know that in the Middle Ages flowers were used as a vital part of lengthy courtships?

Since different flowers are deemed to convey different messages, lovers could express themselves without the fear of being overheard. The flowers could even be symbolically arranged to communicate different feelings of love, attraction, affection or even disdain. Flowers were all part of a secret code — and a beautiful code at that...

These days, whether you're male or female, romantic or practical, if you do decide to give the age-old gift flowers it will mean so much more if you brush up on some of the meanings beforehand.

Think of it like looking up to the stars and not only knowing the different constellations, but the ancient myths behind them. In the same way, imagine giving that special someone a bouquet of purple irises, crocuses, and ivy on Valentine's Day, and being able to tell them that it was a traditional bouquet given in Medieval times because the iris meant "heat aflame," the crocus, "joy," and the ivy ensured the recipient was wanted "above all others."

Or, imagine giving them a bunch of marigolds without realising the marigold means cruelty, grief and jealousy ...

Over the centuries, some individual meanings have changed and evolved and many experts now disagree on the subtleties of some of the connotations. Moreover, every true lover of flowers knows they can mean different things to different people. Traditionally, the Sunflower conveys the message of ‘haughtiness' but I can't see their smiling faces without remembering childhood summer days of skipping through fields of sunflowers and thinking they were my friends.

Believe it or not, you can actually put a whole conversation of meaning in a bunch of flowers — take these for example:

A bouquet of... Amethyst, Meadow lychnis, Moss rosebud
Means... You're so clever! I have to admit — I love you.

A bouquet of... Betony, Marjoram, Southernwood, Spiderwort
Means... I'm surprised, and very embarrassed. I was only joking. I like you, but don't love you.

A bouquet of... Vine, Great Bindweed, Almond (Common), Mimosa
Means... You were drunk and misled me, and that was very thoughtless of you. I can't cope with such behavior.

A bouquet of... Volkamenia, Flos Adonis, Acalia
Means… May you be happy. I'll remember this and try not to get so stupidly drunk in the future.

A bouquet of... Humble Plant, Clotbur, Henbane, Bee Ophrys, Hazel
Means... I'm miserable to think that I was such an idiot. But nobody's perfect. Please forgive me.

A bouquet of... Yellow Tulip, Cloves, Fir, Swallow-wort.
Means… Though I love you, I can keep my act together, and time will heal my sorrow.

A bouquet of...  Arbor Vitae, Hyacinth, Convolvulus Major
Means… I will always be your friend, and share good times with you. I no longer harbor any hope for more.

And yeah the thing that REALLY MATTERS is what your EYES and HEART say,, what your soul and mind depict, your expressions reveal while you present the flowers......... as they say, no need to remember these lists as when your heart is pure and pious  you would utomatically choose the right flower for the right occassion.........or may be the meaning of a flower changes with the love and feelings while they are being presented by you........
