What flower emojis mean
Flower emojis carry some of the symbolism of real flowers. The rose ๐น means romance, the tulip ๐ท spring and fresh starts, and the sunflower ๐ป cheerfulness and loyalty. The cherry blossom ๐ธ is closely tied to Japan and the fleeting beauty of spring, the lotus ๐ชท to purity and awakening in Buddhist and Hindu traditions, and the wilted flower ๐ฅ to sadness, loss or a love that has faded.
Sending flowers by text
A virtual bouquet is a lovely touch when you cannot be there in person. For a birthday, try ๐๐, for a get-well message ๐ท๐ต and for congratulations ๐ป๐. Mixing two or three flower types, such as ๐ธ๐ผ๐ท, makes the bouquet look more generous. White flowers like ๐ฎ alongside a white heart ๐ค are a gentle choice for condolence messages.
White flower and rosette
Two flower emojis often puzzle people. The white flower ๐ฎ comes from Japan, where a similar flower-shaped stamp is used by teachers to praise excellent schoolwork, much like a gold star. The rosette ๐ต๏ธ looks like a decorative flower or an award ribbon and is used for prizes, ornaments and floral designs. Both make pretty accents in bios and captions.
