The meanings of flowers can be a source of inspiration for those in love or those who wish to profess their love. Understanding the meanings of flowers and what they symbolise can add an emotional or spiritual dimension when we are selecting flowers as gifts.
If we receive a pot of Gloxinia flowers from someone, then it might be a hint that the given has fallen in love at first sight since that is the meaning given in the flower dictionary. Unfortunately, in my case I bought the Gloxinias myself and there is nobody who has fallen in love at first sight with me. Boo Hoo Hoo!
For your information, Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa) is a popular indoor plant. It is often called Florist's Gloxinia. Gloxinia flowers come in colours ranging from pure white to pink, lavender, red, to deep purple. There are also those in two colours and those with white-border petals.The one that I bought was red with white border petals.
