When it comes to gifting flowers, it is usually considered one of the safest gift ideas. But were you aware that some flowers are not ideal for gifting?
Giving flowers to your loved ones can always rejoice them, but it is essential to determine what flowers are good for gifting and which ones are not. Not every flower symbolizes positive things. There are some blooms with very negative meanings, and gifting them might offend someone. To help you avoid such mishaps, we have listed the names of some flowers you should avoid giving others at all times.
Begonia symbolizes deep thinking.
You might have seen Begonia often featuring in floral bouquets, but you will be startled to know that despite having a stunning color and shape and being appreciated by many, the flower symbolizes ‘Deep thinking.’ Therefore, Begonia may not be an excellent gift choice for someone.
Yellow Carnations stand for disdain.
Some carnations are excellent for adding to a bouquet but avoid gifting the yellow ones to people. They symbolize disdain and rejection. It is best to stick to the white carnations as they stand for sweetness and pure love.
Buttercup represents immature behavior.
Buttercups are sweet-looking and pretty flowers, but they may not be an incredible choice for gifting someone you love. Buttercups are symbolic of immature behavior and childishness. So, if you are buying buttercups for someone, they might assume that you are questioning their ability to think rationally and also their intellect.
Orange lilies symbolize hatred.
Lilies are a popular and beautiful flower but try to avoid the orange variations because it stands for disdain, pride, and hatred.
Monkshood is poisonous
If you are not intending to make someone fall sick, then never send Monkshood to them. These flowers might look gorgeous, but appearance is not all that matters — they are very poisonous and can cause damage to anyone who touches them.
Petunia stands for resentment.
The petunia may be strikingly beautiful in terms of its look, but it symbolizes anger and resentment. If the receiver is aware of what this flower symbolizes, the message might get you in trouble.
Cyclamen symbolizes separation
This flower is a pleasant choice for someone that you have recently broken up or parted ways with. However, if you are still planning to stick together, it is best to avoid this stunning bloom that symbolizes separation. If the receiver of this flower knows what cyclamen represents, they might assume that the gift is a sign from you to seek separation from them, and you will most likely not have much to defend yourself.
While many people do not care about what the flowers represent but only how they look like, others do pay closer attention to the symbolism that the flowers hold.
