Since summer is coming about and the flowers have been blooming wonderfully, I thought it would be nice to talk about these beautiful creations!
We’ll be talking about a couple of different meanings from some flowers. Keep in mind that some flowers can have multiple meanings and can vary.
I also want to thank Baileyyrosee for this amazing layout!

Calla Lilies are also referred to as arum lily, trumpet lily, Pig lily, or Miniature Calla Lily. However, despite their name, they are not true lilies.

Some facts about chrysanthemums are that they are used in flavored tea as a relaxant. They were also originally grown in the Eurasion regions. Chrysanthemum comes from Greek word 'Chrys' meaning golden, and 'anthemon', meaning flower.

Gardenias are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, Australasia, and Oceania. They are difficult to grow elsewhere because they demand high humidity in order to thrive and they require bright light but not directly. However, there are some types of gardenias that can be grown as houseplants.
Gardenias can symbolize the following:
- Purity

- Indication of secret love
- Joy
