Flower Meanings - INI

Flower language (Hanakotoba) refers to symbolic words assigned to flowers and plants based on their color, shape, fragrance, and variety. It serves as a guide when choosing flowers as gifts or expressing emotions. Introduced to Japan from Europe around the Meiji era, various flowers now have established meanings. The meaning can vary depending on color and number of stems, making it important to choose appropriately for the recipient and occasion.
