Blue flowers hold a
special significance in the language of flowers and apparently – given their
long-standing popularity – a special place in our hearts as well. Whether it’s
the deep blue petals of an iris or the light blue lace of hydrangea, the wildflower
beauty of blue star anemone and commelina or the dramatic arch of blue
delphinium, blue flowers offer a cooling antidote to our over-stimulated lives
and anxious days.

| EXAMPLE OF BLUE FLOWER |
A color that is
known to hold universal appeal, blue plays a significant role in many cultures’
religious rituals and ceremonies. It’s said that the Western tradition of a
bride wearing something blue is tied to the color’s symbolism of faithfulness
and loyalty. In its dark, regal tones, blue can express trustworthiness,
confidence, intelligence and unity, which explains why it’s frequently the
color of police uniforms, why the blue “power suit” is an icon of the business
world and why winners of competitions receive blue ribbons. And yet, in its
softer hues, blue can embody the uplifting spirit of a sunny sky or soothing
ocean – perhaps explaining why so many of us choose blue flowers when we want
to send a message of calming beauty, tranquility and peace.
