Using flowers to express your emotion

Flower have a uniqueness, even a mystique, occupying a special place in our hearts. We have heard that a smile can launch a thousand ships, that a picture is more powerful than a thousand words. when it comes to flowers, it is said these beautiful, delicate and redolent wonders of Nature have the power of expression which even the most eloquent among us do not possess. Be it any occasion – whether we want to convey our love or whether we want to apologise, appreciate, celebrate or condole – flowers express our innermost feelings better than we ourselves can.   
We always associate flowers with feelings. These are feelings of love and affection, of admiration and appreciation. Most of us are shy of expressing these feelings but they need to be expressed, otherwise the human race would lose its humanity. Which is why somebody in the long-gone past decided to use flowers as the ‘signifier’ and thereafter began an era of conveying the most intimate things to another by just gifting him/ her a flower. What would the world have been if flowers had not signified what we know they signify? Our most romantic poems and movies would have looked shallow had they not used flowers for effect.
Our fascination has gone on for decades . We use them for decoration as well as cosmetics. The rose and jasmine baths of yore to the flower-scented perfumes and soaps of present times. Times have changed but flowers have retained the same old charm and significance. That is what makes flowers mysterious. It is this mystique which gives flowers their unique value.
If you want to present your feelings to your dear ones, let them ride on flowers. They will be the best courier.
