Sending a yellow tulip to someone means you love them, but you know they don t return your feelings. - Bright red is the color of passion and perfect love. Don t send a bouquet of these flowers to a family member or you ll be sending the wrong message! - Purple is tied to royalty, but also abundance and prosperity. - P i n k i s less intense affection and love, and also offers a more appropriate choice for friends and family.
