wildflower season
Spring has arrived, which means the wildflowers are in full bloom. These petals are not only rich in color but also carry deep meaning. Some of your favorite flowers have symbolized a variety of things from love to loss in various ancient cultures such as Greece and Egypt, as well as the Edwardian and Victorian periods.
Why wildflower meaning matters
In many ways, flowers have been a tool to communicate feelings without words. Aside from serving as messages, flowers have often played, and continue to play, a large role in ritual and medicine.
If you wish to manifest or invoke something specific, bringing specific flowers into your space can strengthen those spiritual bonds. Whether you’re looking forward to new beginnings or celebrating the memory of a loved one, here are the meanings of 12 popular wildflowers.
roses
While each rose color has its own meaning, these blooms often signify romance. Perhaps Saint Valentine’s favorite flower, roses are given to new and old lovers at every stage of a relationship. Whether as a single rose or a whole dozen, the flower usually signals that love is in the air.
daisy
Daisies represent youthfulness and innocence. The flower most often drawn by children usually has a bright yellow center and white petals. Dubbed by some “the eye of the day,” the flower closes as the sun goes down and opens again to greet the day.
water lilies
Sitting softly on the surface, water lilies have long been a symbol of balance and transition. In ancient Greece, the water lily was named after a Greek nymph who represented beauty with a side of danger. In Buddhism, the flower is a sign of ascent from the earthly world to the spiritual world.
sunflowers
Sunflowers bring light and warmth everywhere with their bright yellow flowers. Just as they face the sun when planted, sunflowers are a symbol of honesty and optimism. These bright flowers offer a peaceful way out of the darkness.
tulips
Once a tulip is planted, it returns with spring every year. Because of this reincarnation, tulips are often associated with renewal and refreshed perspective. Tulips are also associated with divine presence and everlasting love. Rising like phoenixes from the earth, they remind us of the many rebirths we experience during our time on earth.
freesias
Scented Freesia is a top choice for gifting to friends and family. This tubular flower has long been a symbol of complete confidence. Their scent evokes feelings of calm, almost as if reminding us to trust what the universe has in store for us.
jasmine
A perfect flower for the wedding season, jasmine has long been a symbol of purity and love. The long and winding tendrils of jasmine represent two lives intertwined into one. Jasmine oils are said to cleanse the body and are often consumed in teas.
lupins
Lupins symbolize endurance and inner strength. Derived from the Latin word for wolf, lupins were once thought to absorb all of the nutrients from the soil. Lupins are strong and come back year after year. Seeing a lupine can symbolize that you too are persistent and steadfast. Most commonly found along the coast from California to British Columbia, lupins are an upbeat and determined barrier alongside a raging sea.
dahlias
Dahlias have long been a symbol of a new bond or relationship. While they can celebrate a connection between two people, dahlias can also serve as a reminder to embark on a new spiritual path or health decision. Lighter dahlias are used to welcome new connections, while darker variations like burgundy and black are generally seen as a warning of change.
peonies
Shy at first, the peony opens up as a symbol of friendship and new relationships. Peonies can also represent good luck and prosperity. Giving the gift of a peony is a beautiful way to tell someone how lucky you are to have them in your life. Just be sure to choose freshly cut peonies rather than picked ones. The Victorians believed that unearthed peonies would carry a fairy curse.
violet
Violets, named for their deep purple hue, are a symbol of mysticism and royalty. Like the Priestess card in the tarot, violet indicates a strong connection to divine knowledge and intuition. Violets call upon people who focus their energies on spiritual growth and awareness. If you want to improve your mental clarity and dream vision, place violets by your bed or by your pillow.
cloves
Like the rose, different colored carnations have different meanings. Carnations are often associated with remembrance, devotion, and celebration. Carnations are typically used at memorial services and holidays, and they are also the number one choice for boutonnieres and boutonnieres given at proms.
