8 Flowers that Symbolise Joy

Regardless of your age or where you live, we are all searching for moments of joy and happiness in our lives. From celebrating the birth of a child to commemorating an important anniversary or life milestone, joy can be described as a feeling of extreme happiness or cheerfulness. If you want someone else to feel the joy, you can do so by sending a stunning bouquet or box flower arrangement.

Flowers that symbolize joy not only evoke feelings of happiness but also inject an element of optimism and positivity into your space. So not only do flowers increase the levels of happiness for the recipient, but also for anyone who happens to see the flowers in their space.

1. Lily of the valley

Convallaria, commonly called the lily of the valley, produces soothing bell-shaped petals that bloom with small red berries as they mature. Historically, the lily of the valley flower has come to represent joy, purity, innocence, and happiness. In some regions of the culture and religions, they have also come to symbolize pain and loss.

2. Delphinium

When you want to express pure happiness, consider sending a lovely bouquet of delphiniums. As a delphinium continues to grow it produces a beautiful cascading arrangement of luxurious petals. Available in a wide range of vibrant colors, delphiniums not only look beautiful but also produce a lovely aroma to help you feel calm and at ease. There are a few varieties of delphiniums, including single-layered, semi-double-layered, and double-form delphinium. Whichever you decide to send, these delicate beauties are sure to delight!

3. Blue Daisy

When many people think of daisies, they think of white or pink. However, blue daisies have come to symbolize happiness, growth, loyalty, and trust.
