Beware of These Blooms!
While many of you will happily flaunt superstition to have your favourite big day bloom, there are some flowers that are said to have rather negative meanings. If you love a partial flower and don’t believe in superstition or bad luck, then I say go for it! Still the following are said to have negative meanings and implications.
- Christmas rose- Scandal.
- Fig – Idleness.
- Larkspur – Infidelity.
- Marigold – grief.
- Red carnation – poverty.

- Rhododendron – danger.

So in other words, yellow id colour one to beware of by the looks of it.
