Superstitious people often find themselves in a 'dead end'. The peoples are scattered across the globe. Being at a distance from each other, they interpret the same phenomena in their own way. This is how signs with the opposite meaning appear. Why yellow flowers are given depends on the event and the nationality of the donor.
What do yellow flowers mean
In Russia and in the East, sun-colored buds symbolize:
- grace;
- happiness and joy;
- abundance;
- youth.
But there is another interpretation of yellow. It is associated with autumn, wilting, withering away. Some people perceive it as a symbol of shame, hatred, gossip. This meaning came to us from Western countries and is firmly rooted in our minds. Signs about yellow flowers in relationships prophesy:
- faded feelings;
- treason;
- parting.
In accordance with the Christian symbolism of flowers, yellow (golden hue) is a symbol of divine kindness, faith and good deeds. But dark yellow has the opposite meaning. He is the personification of treachery and envy. This is due to the fact that Judas at the time of the betrayal of Christ was dressed in dark yellow clothes. Before being burned, heretics were dressed in robes of the same color.
As for the bouquets, gift compositions for mature women are formed from the buds of a muted pale or, conversely, a dark, brownish shade. Bright flowers are not suitable for ladies of Balzac age.
Can or can not present yellow flowers?
There is no consensus on this matter. Therefore, in order not to upset the fierce admirer of signs who listens to the 'voice of fate', present scarlet or pink buds.
If you were presented with a yellow bouquet, you need to rejoice, because they wished you wealth, they admire you, consider you a bright, gifted person.
Yellow daffodils mean betrayal. The only day when a bouquet of these flowers is perceived positively is March 8th. In other cases, it is better to refrain from such a gift.
Why yellow flowers fell out of favor:
- In the minds of our contemporaries, this negative was settled by Natasha Koroleva, who sang very convincingly: 'Yellow tulips are the messengers of separation …'. The song was so popular that no one even thought of doubting the validity of these words.
- There is a legend about a test of fidelity that a woman could not pass. According to legend, the prince, who had returned from a long campaign, wanted to find out if his wife had cheated on him. On the advice of the sorceress, he left red roses in the bedroom, which turned yellow the next morning – which became evidence of wilted feelings, the betrayal of a woman.
- At the whim of Catherine II, in the language of flowers, which was used by secular ladies' men for flirting with young ladies, yellow buds began to mean treason, separation, distrust of a man. Since then, the opinion has taken root that if a man presented a bouquet in yellowish tones, he is not going to be faithful, and in fact, announced the breakup.
That is why you cannot give yellow flowers to your beloved girl – she can interpret such a present as a hint of an imminent separation. And superstitious people generally think that such a bouquet itself will cause the lovers to quarrel.
But this is just a sign. The flowers do not carry any negative energy. On the contrary, it is customary to give yellow roses as a sign of reconciliation after a family quarrel. If the husband presents such a bouquet, it means that he wants peace, prosperity in the family, and does not apologize at all for treason.
Any stranger girl with whom there is no love relationship can be presented with yellow flowers. They will be delighted: mother, grandmother, aunt, niece, daughter or other relative. Before Catherine's innovations, yellow bouquets of different types in the language of flowers meant:
- Tulips are a declaration of love with a touch of rationalism. This is not about unbridled ardent passion, as is the case with red roses. Rather, it characterizes confidence in their feelings. A person does not 'lose his head' from love, he keeps the situation under control.
- Roses are an expression of admiration and respect, a wish for good luck.
- Carnations – a desire to make amends for the offense. With such a gift, a person seems to say: 'I repent, you are dear to me, I am afraid of losing you.'
And during the exams, such a bouquet will bring practical benefits to the girl, because yellow has the ability to enhance intelligence:
- improves memory;
- stimulates the activity of the brain;
- helps to assimilate new information.
Who to give yellow flowers to
First of all, those people who love this type of flora are honored with such a gift. These are most often cheerful, optimistic personalities. And they are persistent and purposeful, easily achieve their goals, have an original mindset.
Yellow flowers, especially roses, are great for representatives of creative professions. With such a bouquet, fans express their admiration for the talents of artists, painters, and writers. It is common for rushing personalities to doubt their abilities and the correctness of the chosen path. Yellow flowers will help them gain lost faith in themselves, give them new strength, and stimulate creativity.
A bouquet of yellow flowers is appropriate as a gift for a manager. In this case, the golden hue is perceived as a symbol of wealth and material well-being. Orange-yellow bouquets are a symbol of power; it is customary to give them to influential persons.
Superstitious people tend to endow various objects with mystical abilities. This happened with floristic compositions. Gradually, several signs appeared that one should not give yellow flowers. Coincidence and imagination played an important role in this. But to listen to beliefs or not is a personal matter for each person.
