Did you know that there’s a secret language of flowers? It’s true! Different flowers have different meanings. Daisies, for instance, mean an innocent or “true” love. Red carnations traditionally mean “my heart aches for you.” Calla lilies are a popular choice for funeral bouquets, but did you know they’re actually a traditional symbol of marriage? Or if you want to express graciousness that snapdragons would align with your sentiments? Back in the day, a carefully plucked bouquet could tell a person exactly how you felt about them.

Not everyone knows those meanings these days, so it can get a little foggy on what you’re trying to say. It might be easier to just include a note with your flowers. Still, these perfectly silly and sweet flower puns and jokes can convey just about any message you need to share. Or you can use them simply for a good laugh.

Looking for more laughs? Flowers aren’t the only things that people joke about. Check out our jokes about everything from farm life, pigs, and cows to super-cheesy jokes about pizza.
