Traditional meanings have been provided for each and every one of them.

Red – are used to reflect deep emotions such as respect, admiration, devotion and many more.
White – symbolize purity, innocence. White roses are also used to convey sympathy.
Yellow – are used as a symbol of friendship, caring. Unlike other roses, yellow roses do not symbolize deep emotions such as love or romance, it indicates a purely platonic emotion.
Tulip
originally found in the heart of Persia, Tulips were known to be rather costly due to them being so rare, however now that is a thing of the past as tulips can now be grown in your own back yard. Tulips are a symbol of The Perfect Lover.

There have been several research projects conducted by Texas Tech in conjunction with Mississippi State University and Virginia Tech. One project shows cattle that grazed forage which had been treated with seaweed extract, or the animals fed directly with seaweed meal and extract, had clear positive results on the animals immune systems, weight gains, carcass quality and the shelf-life of finished meats. The lead researchers included Viven G. Allen, Ph.D., Thorton distinguished professor of forages in the department of plant and soil science, and Kevin Pond, Ph.D., chairman of department of animal science and food technology.
The Fisheries and Aquaculture Department wrote that an experiment for 7 years with dairy cows (seven pairs of identical twins) showed an average increase in milk production of 6.8 percent that lead to 13 percent more income. A trial with two groups each of 900 ewes showed that those fed seaweed meal over a two-year period maintained their weight much better during winter feeding and also gave a better wool production.
This along with other articles on seaweed only goes to show what benefits there are in feeding seaweed to animals, spraying forage areas and crops with seaweed extract and eating seaweed by us humans. It is only now that we in the Western world are appreciating the nutritional value of seaweeds, with its flavour, variety, and the health giving benefits these can present. The sea contains all 92 minerals for nutrition and seaweed growing in the sea would have access to all these minerals.
Seaweed is the richest source of minerals in the vegetable kingdom, is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, sodium and calcium as well as a source of vitamins A, B1, C, E and K. Seaweed is classed as a wild food and totally organic. Seaweed contains a wide array of concentrated protein and healthy carbohydrates, is an excellent source of iodine, could balance the body’s pH with its alkaline forming effect, is low in fat and very low in calories as well as being high in glyconutrients.
It seems that seaweed isn’t just good for our bodies. Brown seaweed, commonly known as kelp, reached the news when it was reported that it could be farmed and used to produce biofuel. The chief advantage to using seaweed is that it does not entail arable land or water resources for farming it.
Seaweed is ever-increasing in popularity and most health shops now stock many different seaweed varieties. As with all foods, the paramount importance is making certain that the quality is of a high standard. Many of our seas are polluted and the sea vegetables will soak up those toxins and contaminants. Be sure to source high-quality and organic seaweed products for the best health benefits.
