All flowers have a meaning. The Victorians used to use flowers as a symbol to express their feelings.
I still use flowers to express my feelings. I like to have fresh flowers around me at home - especially since I am working from my home now when I am in DC. The tulips above are in my living room and looked especially radiant this weekend in the light at sunrise.
Now tulips in general mean fame, charity and the perfect lover.

For some reason on this trip to Whole Foods when presented with the rainbow of tulips, the yellow ones stood out. Interestingly, the meaning of yellow tulips is...hopeless love. Oh, those Victorians!
On the same shopping trip, I was struck by these daffodils. The stems were so short and there were no blooms yet. They were really kinda ugly - but look what they became.
These are in my dining room and I look at them while I am working.
And the meaning of Daffodils? Respect. So it seems appropriate that I have these daffodils in the bamboo vase that I got in Japan and that looks to me like a kimono.
And color? Doesn't color have meaning too. Of course it does. But really, color has more than just meaning. It has impact.
For centuries it's been known that colors can dramatically affect our health, inner harmony and even our emotions. Color is a living energy. It is a property of light.

Yellow is the solar plexus chakra. It energizes, relieves depression, improves memory, stimulates appetite and helps in digestive problems. Spiritually it is the color of wisdom and connects us to our mental self.
Ahh...yellow - the perfect antidote for the tail end of winter!
