I have a book that my grandma gave me with a ton of flower meanings. I think they're fascinating and have read this book countless times. I always liked it in the old movies and books when a girl would get flowers and they meant something...
A secret admirer might send a bouquet of these to the girl he liked.
Yellow Acacia = Secret Love

White Clover = Think of Me


Celandine = Joys to Come
Some of my favorites are:
Blue Bell = Constancy
Four Leaved Clover = Be mine
Dead Leaves = Sadness (Kind of an obvious one, but still very fitting.)
Fern = Sincerity
Forget Me Not = True Love
Pansy = You occupy my thoughts, thoughts
Honeysuckle = Bonds of Love
Lettuce = Cold heartedness (I think this one's funny. :D )
Purple Lilac = First emtions of Love
Marigold = Grief Despair
Peach Blossom = I am your captive
Petunia = Never despair
Red Poppy = Consolation
Rose = Love
Bridal Rose = Happy Love
Christmas Rose = Relieve my anxiety
White and Red Roses Together = Unity
Yellow Rose = Decrease of Love, Jealousy
Full Rose Over Two buds = Secrecy
Red Rosebud = Pure and Lovely
White Rosebud - Girlhood and a heart ignorant of Love
Rosemary = Remembrance
Snowdrop = Hope
Dwarf Sunflower = Adoration
Red Tulip = Declaration of Love
Yellow Tulip = Hopeless Love
Blue Violet = Faithfulness
White Lily = Purity and modesty
Zinnia = Thoughts of absent friends
Those were all taken from The Language of Flowers
