Which colour scheme is for you? - part 2

Continuing from last week, today we'll look at flowers for four colours: purple, yellow, white and red.

Purple

This is a colour very popular with royalty, clergy and psychics ... and symbolises a dramatic, flamboyant personality.
Flowers to match a purple wedding theme are Lisianthus (eustoma), allium, liatris, phalaenopsis, orchid, anemone, African violet, streptocarpusYellow
Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour that stimulates memory and symbolises summer, the sunshine and holidays.
For a yellow theme, you can use: sunflower, solidago, achillea, daffodils, oncidium, orchid, begonia, hibiscus.

White
White flowers often appear more expensive than the coloured version of the same flower.
Adequate choices would be Longiflorum lily, gypsophila, stephanotis, gardenia, peace lily.


Red
The colour of passion, red grabs attention and points to an assertive personality.
You can choose roses, geranium, anthurium, celosia, amaryllis, poinsettia, kalanchoe.
