Tulip

One of the most popular of spring flowers. The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. However, much like the rose, different colours of tulips offer different meanings. Red tulips represent true love, while the pink ones represent a caring attachment. Purple means royalty, white represents purity and innocents. Over the years the meaning of yellow tulips have changed from hopelessness to a more positive meaning of sunshine and being happy.  They are voracious sun seekers (like the sunflower). This makes them a symbol of opportunity, adjustment, advancement, and aspiration.  They are commonly thought to represent attainment of spiritual awareness.
