TuesdayOrange. What determines the shade of the flower?

Each of us has admired the variety of shades which the plant world has endowed with nature. Sometimes you can find flowers of such a color range that it is difficult to believe that they are real.

I was a very bad student at school so now I'm learning about the world again. And I'm interested in why flowers have different colors?

The color of flowers depends on special substances called pigments. The plant world has about two thousand dyes. In turn, the color of the pigment is due to its ability to absorb light. Thus, if the light rays that fall on an object are reflected completely, it will be white, if they are absorbed, then the object will be black.

What does the orange color of flowers mean? The orange color of the flowers symbolizes strength and power, so orange flowers are often given as a sign of respect to their superiors and colleagues, which means pride in a person, recognition of his strength.

Do not forget that orange is the color of enthusiasm, joy, cheerful mood. A bouquet of orange flowers of gerbera, calendula or marigold, despite its simplicity, always looks fresh and bright, recalling the hot summer and colorful autumn.
