Answer 2

You want to give your sweetie a bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day. That's a classy move. Think twice, though, before plucking any random bunch of blooms. If your special someone is among the thousands of searchers hitting the Web for "meaning of flowers," he or she may have a funny reaction to that clutch of striped carnations. (What you just said: "Sorry I can't be with you.")

To save you the horror of broadcasting the wrong message with yellow chrysanthemums ("slighted love"), yellow hyacinths ("jealousy"), or bright and shiny marigolds ("cruelty, grief, and jealousy," oh my!), we've paired the week's most searched-on flowers with their generally accepted meanings. Select with confidence... Roses - Love

Orchids - A belle

Iris - My compliments

Daisies - Innocence

Tulips - Declaration of love

Calla Lily - Beauty

Amaryllis - Splendid beauty

Hydrangea - Heartfelt

Anthurium - Hospitality

Daffodils - Chivalry

Chrysanthemums - Fidelity

Carnations - Pride and beauty

When it comes to sheer flower power, the rose is the "American Idol," the Michael Jordan, and the Beatles of botany, all rolled into one sweet-smelling, thorny cache. No flower comes close to its popularity. It draws its own "meaning" searches ("rose color meaning"), cooks up its own candy queries ("chocolate roses"),and sprinkles the Search box with its velvety parts ("rose petals").

If you're thinking of a dozen long-stemmed messages de amor for February 14, here are the week's most searched-on types of roses and their secret meanings...

Hi California Rain,

The meaning of a rose's color depends a little bit on what source you use; however, the generally accepted meanings are:

Yellow = Joy/Friendship

White = Innocence/Purity

Black = Death (to recipient)/Farewell (disagreement on this)

Pink = Admiration

Blue (how about lavender?) = Enchantment

Green = (none)

Orange = Desire/Excitement

Red = Love/Romance

I hope this is of some help to you.
