Hi,

I too like carnations and they have different meanings depending on their colour.

Carnations in general mean - Woman,Fascination and distinction. they are also the birth flower for January.

Pink - A mothers Love, I'll never forget you

Red- my heart aches for you.

White - Purity, Innocence, sweet and lovely. Were handed out at the first mothers day service in 1908.

Striped - Refusal, no, sorry I can't be with you.

Yellow - distain, rejection, you have disappointed me.

Very poignant that Pink Carnations were your mothers favourite as they mean a Mothers Love.

These are usually flowers that get overlooked as weeds and I remember being told that if you pick a Dandelion you would wet the bed as a child!

Their real meaning are as follows- Faithfulness, happiness, love's oracle.

Buttercups - Childishness 

Different Lillies have different meanings,

Cala - Beauty

Orange -I burn for you

White - Purity,virginity, majesty, its heavenly to be with you. It is also linked to Juno the queen of the gods in Roman mythology, by the story that while nursing her son Hercules, some excess milk fell from the sky creeating the milky way then the milk that fell to the Earth created lillies.

Yellow -I'm walking on air.

I was not familar with Frangipanis, so I did a little research. I agree with you that they are beautiful flowers and apparently they have a fantastic perfume - unfortunately the only meaning that I could find for them is that in Bangledesh they are used for funerals!

If anyone knows any other meaning I would be very interested.

It would depend on what part of the world you come from. The Thais associate the tree with death and believe the tree is the abode of departed spirits particularly those who did not have a good life while alive here on earth.

Another meaning is Shelter, "I want to protect you from anything evil."

Another school of thought is the five petals of the  Frangipani flower represent five qualities necessary for Psychological Perfection: sincerity, faith, aspiration, devotion and surrender

Thank you, do you mind if I take note of that?

Peach Rose - Desire, gratitude appreciation,admiration,sympathy,modesty.

Yellow Rose - Joy, friendship,true love,

Yellow and orange together - Passionate thoughts.

Bluebells - Humility, constancy
