Which flower means what
Flowers carry real-world meanings and the emoji inherit them. 🌹 (rose) is romance and Valentine’s Day. 🌸 (cherry blossom) is spring, softness and Japan, and it is the most used flower for a gentle, pretty tone. 🌻 (sunflower) is warmth and cheer, and since 2022 it has also been widely used to show support for Ukraine, whose national flower it is. 🌷 (tulip) is fresh and simple; 💐 (bouquet) is a gift, thanks or congratulations.
🪷 (lotus, Emoji 14.0) means calm, meditation and yoga. 🌺 (hibiscus) is tropical and holiday-ish. 🥀 (wilted flower) is sadness, a failed romance or a joke about neglect. 🪻 (hyacinth, Emoji 15.0) is the newest and mainly decorative; it also has a following in some LGBTQ+ communities. 🌼 (blossom) is a plain daisy-like flower for everything else.
