Flowers

It is difficult to imagine our life without flowers. People decorate their homes with flowers, give them as a gift or buy flowers for themselves for pleasure. Flowers are presented for some occasion or without any as they make our life more bright and enjoyable.
In ancient times people could easily communicate with the language of flowers as they have always been the symbols of people’s feelings and thoughts. But the language of flowers is not as easy as it may seem. The meanings of the same flowers could be different or even contradictious in different countries. For example, the Englishmen present forget-me-nots to show their devotion and love affection when in France the same flower of white colour is not used as a present at all as it is a symbol of death. The Frenchmen adore lilies. There are three lilies on the French insignia symbolizing solace, justice and compassion. Lily as a present is considered to show the deepest respect in this country. There is a legend in Germany that this flower has a tendency to grow under the influence of some unknown power on the tombs of those people who died of violence or commited suicide.
There is no doubt that the queen of all flowers has always been the rose. It is a symbol of love and passion. The birthplace of the rose is believed to be in Percia where innumerable sorts of this flower still grow nowadays.
