Flower: Day Lily; Aster; (Substitute: Platinum, Green or White Rose)
In China, the day lily takes on a cheerful meaning of ‘no worries’, which represents the stability of a long-term marriage that has successfully survived many challenging times, bringing it to a point where there is now time for a more carefree sentiment and outlook on the future. In the Victorian interpretation of this flower, it signifies coquetry, flirting and playful behavior towards one another. This description further fits in with the notion of needless worry, and the opportunity to sit back, relax, enjoy and be carefree. Perhaps the children have grown up, and have possibly left home, and so the parents are less ‘burdened’, and have more time together.
The aster flower holds the meaning of unexpected surprise. This wildflower has also long been deemed the 'Talisman of Love,’ a captivating flower that represents daintiness, elegance, love, patience and contentment.
