Why We Love Red Flowers
Red is a compelling color because it instantly attracts our attention. Red is one of the most visible colors to the human eye, and the color babies see first. Red is also the international color for stop lights and stop signs, and over 75% of all world flags have red on them.
Symbolism of the Color Red
Red is associated with strong feelings such as passion, love, and anger, and it also symbolizes power, strength, courage, and danger. It is a vibrant and stimulating color with strong links to sexuality and increased appetites (it’s why so many restaurants use red in their advertisements.) Red is also energizing and exciting and can boost our confidence and motivate us to act.
Amaryllis
A large and glorious bloom, the amaryllis is even more impressive due to its bright red color. A symbol of radiant beauty, this tall and elegant bloom also represents strength and resolve.
Anemone
This pretty poppy-like flower comes in various sizes and colors, including a vibrant red with a brilliant white center. Beautifully stunning, the red anemone signifies fragility and love.
Aster
The charming aster flower resembles a starburst, and the word “aster” means “star” in Greek. The red variety of this bright bloom denotes undying devotion.
Carnation
The layers of delicate notched petals give carnations a frilly, soft look. Coming in an array of different colors, light red carnations symbolize adoration, while dark red carnations represent love and affection.
