Pink Flowers

 

When looking for a symbol of young love and happiness, pink flowers are a perfect choice and are best when given at engagements, weddings and anniversaries. Pink flowers are available in a number of varieties, from allium and lilies, to dahlia and orchids and represent spring and new growth in nature. Available most of the year, pink flowers can vary from pale pink for spring bouquets, to deep cerise for winter ones. Stronger colours symbolise deep feelings of affection while lighter ones represent crush and platonic affections between family and friends. Pink flowers by botanical name and common name:
