Every Woman Loves Flowers

...and a woman that says she doesn't is lying.

Flowers are the key to brighten up anyones day. Growing up, I thought Orchids were my favorite (almost every filipino mom I know collects them). Mom & Grandma always had countless pots of all types in the house/ backyard and they truly are beautiful flowers, however, I recently discovered my love for Peonies & pink Tulips. Of course, as with most other things, I googled to see if they had a significant meaning and they do.

Peony - healing, live, happy marriage

"The traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower, peonies are known as the flower of riches and honor. With their lush, full, rounded bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage."


Tulip - symbol of perfect love

Pink Tulip - caring

"Although different tulip colors carry distinct meanings,...The 11th wedding anniversary flower, it's said that the tulip’s velvety black center represents a lover's heart, darkened by the heat of passion. With the power to rival roses in their red variety and the sweet charm to express simple joy when yellow, it’s no wonder that in addition to all its other symbolism, in the language of flowers, a tulip bouquet represents elegance and grace."
