A long time ago, in Victorian times, flowers had strong meaning and each specific flower sent a clear signal about how the giver was feeling toward the receiver. It was a great way for people to communicate, using the flowers to speak words that were sometimes difficult to say. When a person has a feeling of emotion that is very strong, they may ask flower experts to tell them the meaning of flowers or may express what feeling they wish to convey and then choose that particular flower to give.
No wonder that flowers are worldwide recognized as one of the most popular gifts. They are our co-called helpers in cases we cannot express our feelings by words; no doubt, the flowers as a gift bring good attitude and carry the right message in their own language.In modern times, not everyone is familiar with the meaning of flowers; but when a person gives flowers to another the gesture itself means one of caring, concern, sympathy, friendship or love. The meaning of flowers today depends on what situation is occurring when someone is the receiver.

However you should be aware As of occasions when it is not compulsory to send flowers depending on the country, religion or customs.
