Many flowers have important symbolic meanings in various cultures. The practice of assigning meanings to flowers is known as floriography. Some of the more common examples include:
* Red roses - love, beauty, and passion.
* Poppies - consolation in time of death.
* Red poppies - In the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada are worn to commemorate soldiers who have died in times of war.
* Irises/Lily - burials as a symbol referring to "resurrection/life".
* Daisies - innocence.
In Hindu mythology, flowers have a significant status. Vishnu, one of the three major gods in the Hindu deities, is often depicted standing straight on a lotus flower. Apart from the association with Vishnu, the Hindu tradition also considers the lotus to have spiritual significance. For example, it figures in the Hindu stories of creation.
