Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Much has been studied and written about color and its impact on our daily lives. And I'm so interested about color and their meaning and impact on our daily lives. Especially when we want to buy some flowers as a gift, we should know their own meaning individually. So, I made a search on it through the net. And look what I found.

Purity and innocence, silence or secrecy, also reverence and humility
Pink
Appreciation, "Thank you", grace, perfect happiness, and admiration
Dark Pink
Appreciation, gratitude
Light Pink
[/COLOR]admiration, sympathy
Yellow
Joy, gladness, friendship, delight, the promise of a new beginning
Orange
Desire, and enthusiasm
Red and White
Given together, these signify unity
Red Rosebud
A symbol of purity and loveliness
White Rosebud
Symbolic of girlhood
Thornless Rose
