FLOWER EMOJIMEANINGS

Emojis have been around since the 1990’s, originating from Japan. The word “emoji” translates into picture (“e”) character (“moji”) in Japanese. In 1997, Japanese mobile phone companies were inspired by manga comic symbols and designed a range of emojis for the booming mobile phone generation. Gone are the simple days of smiley faces – there are now over 3000 emojis available!

We know about the art of floriography - where certain flowers are set to convey specific meanings - so we’ve taken a look at the common flower emojis and their meaning so you can upgrade your message with a little flower power, whatever the occasion.

💐 Bouquet emoji

The classic 💐 simply depicts a bouquet of flowers. Whether you want to send ‘congratulations!’, ‘thanks a bunch’ or just want to brighten up their day, send them a message including the bouquet emoji for a burst of beauty over the phone. Mix it in with other emojis and you can create the perfect heartfelt message.

Message examples:

• Happy Birthday! So glad you liked your 💐
• Congratulations! 💐🥂🥳
• Thanks for everything, I don’t know what I’d do without you 💐💜
• Sorry you’re not feeling well, here’s a 💐 to brighten up your day
• Thought you could do with a dose of extra happiness today 💐

🌸 Cherry Blossom emoji

The Japanese are renowned for their cherry blossom, so it’s not surprising this is a common flower emoji. With cherry blossom at its best in spring, the 🌸 emoji is often used to represent the spring season. Pink flowers are often said to represent femininity, happiness and positivity, so the cherry blossom emoji would be perfect in a message for your friends, on Mother’s Day or to welcome a new baby girl.

Message examples:

• Happy Mother’s Day to the best mum in the world 🌸💐
• Thinking of you, I know you’ll be great 😊🌸
• Sending you lots of positive thoughts 🌸
• Thank you for the 🌸 they look great in her nursery!

🌹 Red Rose emoji

The red rose is the unmistakable flower of love. From Valentine’s Day to anniversaries, there’s no better emoji than the 🌹 to say ‘I love you’. Whether it’s to a new love or a true love, add a romantic touch to your message with the red rose emoji.

Message examples:

• Happy Valentine’s Day 🌹

• Happy anniversary my love – here’s to many more 🌹
• Sending my love to you from afar, sorry I can’t be with you but hope you liked the 🌹

🥀 Wilted Red Rose emoji

Similarly to the red rose being known for love, a 🥀 emoji is known to symbolise heartbreak and grief. Whether you are messaging your friend to tell them of heartbreak, are sending a ‘sorry for your loss’ or you’re feeling down, mix the wilted rose with other emojis for when you’re lost for words.

Message examples:

• My heart is broken, I can’t believe what happened 🥀💔😭

• The flowers have finally 🥀, they lasted a long time though!
