14 Flowers And How They Represent Me

I recently became very interested in researching the symbolism of objects from around the world and found a lot of interesting speculations, factoids, and other information about many plants, primarily flowers! I had some vague knowledge about what receiving or giving some types of flowers meant (i.e. red roses meaning passionate love, yellow roses meaning friendship), but I did not know how many flowers had special meanings behind them. So, I took to the Internet and wanted to find some flowers I felt represented me in a positive way. Here are the top ones I found.

Anthurium

Anthurium

Also known as the “laceleaf," this flower represents hospitality and abundance!

Mauve carnation

Mauve Carnation

The mauve carnation represents dreams of fantasy, which I have to admit, very precisely represents my mind!

Cherry blossom

Japanese Cherry Blossom

This beautiful bloom, straight from an anime, represents gentleness, kindness, good education, and femininity. I definitely try to embody all of these traits!

Dahlia

Dahlia

The dahlia represents elegance and dignity, which I at least like to think I have in me.

Dandelion

Dandelion

Dandelions represent overcoming hardship. I believe that especially right now, this flower resonates with me, with going through rockier paths.

Elderflower

Elderflower

I had not heard of the elderflower before researching for this listicle, but I learned it represents compassion! Compassion is something I'm very driven by and try to make it part of my daily life.

Lemon blossom

Lemon Blossom

Lemon blossoms, which I learned do indeed bloom into actual lemons, represent discretion. I am a fairly private person who tries to stay out of others' business, so I found this flower fitting.

Oats (yes, it is a flower, apparently)

Oats

I won’t lie, I did not know oats were considered a flower. Anyway, they represent musicality! I have a lot of musical background, so I was interested to find out there was a flower that embodies that trait.

Oxeye daisy

Oxeye Daisy

My little sister’s namesake (Daisy, not Oxeye, if you were wondering) represents patience. While it does not entirely represent her personality, I like to think it does represent mine.

Pear blossom

Pear Blossoms

Pear blossoms, which, again, do produce the fruit, represent lasting friendship. I have many friends whom I've had for pandora my whole life as well and many friends I'm positive I will keep around for a long while.

White rose

White Rose

The white rose represents silence, virtue, secrecy, and wistfulness. In my own opinion, this flower may describe me the best out of any of the others.

Dark pink rose

Pexels

Dark pink roses represent gratitude. While it certainly is something I am still working on, I do my best to portray my gratefulness toward others when I can.

Blue tulip

Blue Tulips

Blue tulips represent tranquility, trust, and respect. Outside of myself, I do my best to maintain these aspects in my environment and in my relationships with others.

Black tulip

Black Tulips

The black tulip represents power, strength, and elegance. These are three traits I most definitely try to live up to every day of my life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
