A Vase Full of Cheer

Flowers are an easy and affordable way to add a splash of colour to your life. Every colour conveys a meaning and an emotion. We’ve already talked about how red creates energy, and orange enthusiasm. The next colour we come to as we travel along the floral rainbow is yellow.

Yellow symbolizes, joy, optimism, and cheerfulness. It’s the happiest colour on the spectrum; it’s all but impossible not to smile when you see a vase brimming with yellow flowers. My favourite yellow flower is the daffodil. I love how each spring they burst into bloom, symbolizing new beginnings. 

Yellow flowers can range in shade from light and pale, to bright and sunny. The pale shades are gentle, with a warmth and compassion that make them the perfect choice for someone going through a difficult time. The bright shades are like sunshine. Anywhere you place a vase of bright yellow blooms will automatically look fresher and create radiant warmth.

The two most popular yellow flowers are daffodils and sunflowers, but there are a multitude of others that bloom throughout the year for you to consider: roses; ranunculus; freesia; alstroemeria; forsythia; tulips; chrysanthemums; lilies; gerberas; zinnias; carnations; peonies; and dahlias.

The final thing to note about yellow flowers – they represent friendship. Why not pop out today, pick-up a bunch of yellow flowers and surprise a friend? It’s sure to put a smile on their face – as well as your own!
