Say It with Flowers (3) The idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to other countries. However, as time passed, only sending flowers remained popular. Flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the heart of young men. Each different flower had a different meani ng. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant,“you are beautiful and pure(純潔).”Pink carnations (康乃 馨) meant,“My love far you is great.”Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant,“I saw you with someone else.” Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they recei ved However, not all of the dictionaries agreed on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about t he flowers they chose to send By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had bee unpopular, and the more direct way of sending love lette rs began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.
