The Language of Flowers

Flowers can symbolize so much.  They are beautiful.  They represent life.  They bring cheer and happiness.  They say "I Love You", "Thank You" and "I'm Sorry."  Flowers  speak a language of no words. 

I love the Hydrangea...This radiant flower has come to symbolize earnestness, and is ideal for communicating any heartfelt emotion, from joy to grief.

Take a moment today to enjoy the flowers around you...maybe pick a bouquet for someone special or to bring into your home to express some joy.
