Discover Flower Power: Symbolism of Courage, Faith, Gratitude, and More

Flowers have long held rich symbolism in many cultures. Of course, these are just a few meanings among many, as practically any flower might hold various significances depending on who you ask and their knowledge. For this website, we've selected a few fun ones that align with the power of positivity.

Astrantia represents courage. Its name comes from how its little blooms resemble clusters of stars. Keep the astrantia flower in mind when you need the courage to shine as brightly as the stars above!

Blue Irises symbolize faith. The beautiful blue flowers can remind you that there are blue skies ahead. Have faith that the sun will come out soon!

Canterbury Bells signify gratitude. These flowers grow in big groups, and many will grow on the same stem. They’re a perfect way to let someone know you're glad to have them by your side!

Chamomile conveys energy in adversity. Despite being best known for aiding sleep, sleep is what gives you energy, after all. If you sleep well, you’ll have more energy when you need it!

Daisies, especially orange ones, represent joy. Resembling tiny suns, they bring the same meaning as sunshine – joy and light. Even when the skies are grey, the bright sunny flowers can make you smile!

Dandelions symbolize healing. As the first to appear in desolate areas, they reflect nature's return. They're known to nourish both people and animals and grant wishes when their seeds spread. One little flower, but it carries the potential to heal the world and its inhabitants!

Irises can also mean hope. Named after the Greek goddess of rainbows, they represent the same enduring hope found in rainbows after the storm. Like rainbows, this flower's symbolism resonates across various groups, from Abrahamic religions to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Magnolias symbolize perseverance. Evolving to be pollinated by beetles instead of bees due to their ancient existence, they're known for their hardiness. Moreover, they often serve as a symbol of the strength of women in the American South. If a plant can endure and flourish for eons worldwide, so can you!

Marigolds represent strength. Like orange daisies, these bright flowers are often associated with the sun. Additionally, they are a symbol of connection with the afterlife, frequently present in Dia de los Muertos celebrations, guiding the spirits of loved ones to family ofrendas. The strength of the sun and family love radiate brightly through these flowers.
