So, let’s assume that you know a thing or two about flowers. You know about how some flowers are different from the others, and how to take care of the flowers in your own home. Sure, congrats, you’re a connoisseur (maybe).

But, there’s so many things that we don’t know about (or maybe forgot), so here I am, making sure that you always know and keep your knowledge updated.

So, did you know about the secret languages of flowers? What, you’re telling me that you actually knew? Well then, Let’s revise our flower knowledge shall we?

They don’t speak, they bloom.

In a sense, the flower, indeed, did not speak at all. The flowers don’t, but they indeed mean something towards our recipient, the person who receives the flower bouquet that you carefully chose.

“Oh my… this guy must truly love me, that he brought me a bouquet of red roses! Oh my, what a gentleman.” See, you didn’t say anything, not a text, maybe you even forgot to include a personal message card at the bouquet. But the person could feel your feelings, just from the flowers alone.

Magic right? That’s how magical they are, conveying your deepest thoughts and feelings without a word.

Love, the classical language of flower

Ah, I love this one girl, but should I give her something that she will appreciate and not throw it in the trash?

Bro, if this is you, (I’m disappointed in you) I will definitely recommend you to buy her a single flower, or maybe even a bouquet of flowers.

Why? Because there’s no one out there who would depreciate such a wonderful and heartfelt gift.

Since the classical and medieval times, flowers have been used to express their feelings, without the need to say a single word. This is because flowers have a clear and direct meaning. For example red roses symbolise hot and passionate love.

If you’re scared of giving the right flower towards your crush, just make sure to give her red roses, as it always brings the true passion of love from the sender to the receiver.

Hence why, if you’re madly in love with someone, and you feel shy about it, why not give a flower bro? Just walk to your nearest flower shop, and let the florist do the flower bouquet for you.

Celebrating Beauty

Flowers have always been a go-to for celebrating beauty, not just in people, but in beautiful and cherishable moments.

What moments, you say? Well, beautiful moments like a graduation ceremony of your family member, or even the first baby shower of your firstborn baby. They’re something that not everyone gets to experience, and these experiences are truly wonderful and beautiful.

In order to make that experience much better, flowers are a must.

First baby showers? Yeah, pour some flowers in the bathtub. Perfect, now the baby seems much happier surrounded by sunflowers and lilies in the tub.

Graduation coming up?

Surprise your just-graduated sister or brother with a bouquet of fresh flowers. It’s a simple gesture—but it changes everything.

Suddenly, the moment feels extra special. The photos? Instantly more joyful and Insta-worthy.

Your bouquet won’t just light up their smile—it’ll make your parents proud, impress the photographer, and bring joy to anyone who looks back at the picture in years to come.

Celebrations

Some people may think flowers are only for expressing love or decorating special occasions— but they’re so much more than that. Flowers carry deep emotional meaning. They bring beauty, warmth, and a sense of connection into our everyday lives. Whether it’s a single bloom on a desk or a bouquet gifted to a friend, flowers have a quiet yet powerful way of lifting moods and making moments feel more meaningful.

More importantly, flowers are deeply woven into traditions and celebrations across the world. They’re not just a nice-to-have—they’re a must-have. Think about it: how many holidays, life milestones, or cultural events feel complete without flowers?

Let’s take Valentine’s Day as one of the most iconic examples. Celebrated every year on February 14th, it’s a day when millions of people—couples, friends, even family members— express their love and affection through flowers. A bouquet on Valentine’s Day isn’t just a gift; it’s a symbol. The gesture of giving flowers communicates care, admiration, and a desire to deepen emotional bonds.

But the role of flowers doesn’t stop there. From graduations to weddings, birthdays to religious holidays, flowers are always present. They help us celebrate, comfort, honor, and remember. So, the next time someone says flowers are “just for looks,” you’ll know—they’re actually part of something much deeper: human connection, emotion, and memory.

In Malaysia, where there are people from various races and cultures, flowers have definitely played a huge role in making the festivals and celebrations even merrier.

In Chinese New Year, people used flowers like chrysanthemums and peonies to put in the living room, or even the dining table, in order to make their house more lively and look more ‘ong’ (which means wealth in Chinese beliefs).

In a typical Malay household, you’ll often see traditional decorations like lampu pelita and handmade ketupat ornaments during festive seasons. These elements add a warm, nostalgic touch to the home. Sometimes, families also place fresh flowers in the middle of the living room table. This simple addition not only makes the space feel more welcoming and presentable to guests, but also helps freshen up the air. It’s a small detail that brings both beauty and comfort to the celebration.

The Indians would also do the same, and they used it all the time, especially during weddings where they wanted to make it look grand and luxurious for the guests that were about to come. They would use Marigold garlands and floral rangoli (kolam) decorate homes as they thought flowers would invite blessings, abundance, and positivity into the home.
