In April the world turns green and spring flowers splash color across the landscape. Daffodils, hyacinths, pansies, and tulips brighten flower-beds. There was a time when people "spoke" with flowers. When bouquets were given they carried special messages because the flowers were rich with symbolism. Here are some of the special meanings of popular spring flowers. Daffodils were given to express love and increase fertility. Hyacinths were used to represent love and protection; when the scent is inhaled it also helps to ease grief. Pansies were used to draw love, and if you are trying to perform a love divination ritual, keep a bouquet of pansies nearby. For protection, add some tulips to a bouquet. And during love spells, place a few tulips on your altar. Learning about the language of flowers will increase your magical power.
