VII Practise reading the dialogue with your partner:

  • What are you thinking about, Jill? I tried to address you several times, but in vain…

  • Oh, sorry, I’ve been thinking about the gift for my friend’s birthday and I can’t imagine what to present…

  • Then it’s better to present flowers, they have always been the most romantic gift of nature and mankind. Besides, you can express your attitude to your friend by means of flowers.

  • Is it really possible?

  • Surely, it is. Most people do not consider flower meaning before gifting flowers. But it is impossible for any person to be completely unaware of flower meanings.

  • Exactly! Red rose is known to stand for romantic love, isn’t it? But other flowers perhaps also have their meanings…

  • They do. Aster, for example, symbolizes patience, elegance and daintiness. Carnation means pride and beauty. A red carnation symbolizes love, pride and admiration; a pink carnation symbolizes the love of a woman or a mother; a purple carnation symbolizes capriciousness; a yellow carnation symbolizes disdain, rejection or disappointment; while a white carnation symbolizes innocence and pure love. A striped carnation conveys refusal.

  • How interesting! For me, carnations have always been associated with funerals…

  • Now you see you were mistaken.

  • If flowers have so different meanings, there must be some division into flowers for men and for women.

  • Though not often associated with men's gifts, flowers are growing in popularity as birthday, anniversary or congratulatory gifts for men. But to be sure which types are appropriate or male savvy, it’s better to check out their meanings.

  • I would choose gladiolus as a male flower. It is so manful!

  • You have perfect flower flair. Gladiolus symbolizes strength of character, faithfulness and honour. The Gladiolus flower signifies remembrance. It is sometimes called the sword lily and would be a great option as a gift for a man.
