Symbolic meanings: Many flowers have important symbolic meanings in Western culture. The practice of assigning meanings to flowers is known as floriography.
Flowers determine love:There is a system of pulling flowers apart petal by petal reciting “she loves me” and “she loves me not” to learn the truth about the sincerity of the significant other. Flowers become fruits: For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. After fertilization, a flower develops into a fruit containing the seed(s).
