Orchid

Orchid meaning: luxury, beauty, and strength

In the language of flowers: luxury, beauty, and strength of character.

An orchid is a considered compliment. Where roses speak of feeling, the orchid speaks of the person: rare, composed, stronger than they look. It has carried associations of luxury and refinement for centuries.

Questions

Asked before sending

Is an orchid romantic?

It can be, but its center of gravity is admiration. In a romantic bouquet it says: I see who you are, not only how I feel.
