The large, showy flowers of various colours symbolise different human emotions, generally fond remembrance of
absent friends. A magenta zinnia shows lasting affection for one’s beloved, while a bright scarlet zinnia is a sign of devotion. The white flower suggests goodness of heart and mind and a yellow zinnia personifies daily remembrance of a loved one. A bouquet of mixed zinnia shows concern and thoughts of absent friends, remembering fond moments and bygone days of happiness. It is a small token of nature with varied meaning underlying its bright colour surfaces.
Scientifically, Zinnias are classified in the division Magnoliophyta of the class Magnoliopsida and the order Asterales. |
