Flowers are natural and wonderful companions in all of our life situations. Whether it's love, sadness or joy, for all eventualities there is a plant that represents different feelings and meanings. Messages can also be transmitted through the flower. But there are also political, social and cultural areas, where flowers and plants are assigned different levels of meaning and are also used to convey messages.
