In Buddhism the lotus flower symbolizes faithfulness
Flowers have their own symbolic meaning with which they express our attitude, love, respect and admiration, silent confession and support, or joy from life and the beauty of the moment. They clear the path to the hearts of the people giving attention, warmth and affection. Every occasion is good enough to give a bouquet of flowers.
Throughout the years people have tried to analyze the flowers through esoteric knowledge to explain their use as a sign of personal relations. Since then a symbolic flower language spread, with the help of which, without words, our forefathers have lead long conversations and expressed their feelings.
