Many flowers have important symbolic meanings in Western culture. The practice of assigning meanings to flowers is known as floriography. Some of the more common examples include:
* Red roses are given as a symbol of love, beauty, and passion.
* Poppies are a symbol of consolation in time of death. In the UK, red poppies are worn to commemorate soldiers who have died in times of war.
* Irises are a symbol of death.
* Daisies are a symbol of innocence.
