The editor will explain the types of flowers that represent love and discuss the content about the green plants and flowers that symbolize love, and then let's learn about them together.
1. Rose
Rose should be the first answer that comes to mind when asked about flowers that symbolize love. Yes, roses are seen as the 'flower of love' in our eyes, because in ancient Greek mythology, roses embody both love and beauty. Roses are the best bouquets to express love, and now many people choose to send roses to their loved ones on Valentine's Day or Confession Day every year.
2. Silk Tree
The silk tree is also a flower that symbolizes love, because its leaves are held together in pairs, symbolizing the love between couples. In Western countries, the silk tree is known as the most sacred flower of love, and brides often wear silk flowers at weddings, symbolizing the love and happiness of married life.
3. Edgeworthia
Edgeworthia has always been known as China's love tree, so the flower language of Edgeworthia is 'joyfully tied the nuptial knot'. This is because the branches of the Edgeworthia tree will twist and grow together, which symbolizes the ancient Chinese custom of lovers tying their hair together. The term 'bound hair couple' originates from this, and the growth pattern of the Edgeworthia tree corresponds to this term, making Edgeworthia the flower of love in China.
4. Twin Lotus
When talking about flowers that represent love, twin lotus must be mentioned. As the name implies, twin lotus means two flowers from one peduncle, so it is considered by many to be a very auspicious symbol. The flower language of twin lotus is the intertwining love and the eternal union of hearts, symbolizing the love and happiness of couples, as well as the deep brotherly love between siblings.
5. Peony
The flower language of peony is 'devotion to love'. Peony has been known as China's flower of love since ancient times. The beauty of peony is universally acknowledged, and not only is it beautiful, it can also be used for medical purposes. Peony gives people a sense of soft and jade-like beauty, like a woman suffering from lovesickness, waiting eagerly for her lover to return.
6. Lilac
The flower language of lilac is 'pure first love'. It has a pure beauty and refreshing fragrance, and it is also a symbol of love and happiness, often referred to as the 'flower of love'. Many scholars and literary figures in ancient China liked to use lilac to express love, and in some places in Yunnan, there is an annual 'flower-picking festival' where young men and women go to the mountains to pick lilac flowers and give them to the ones they like, symbolizing their steadfastness in love.
