White carnations signify pure love and innocence.

Other flowers sent on Valentine’s Day can symbolize other things. A Forget-Me-Not is symbolic of true love. A gladiolus means love at first sight. Lavender heather means admiration, while a hibiscus can symbolize a delicate beauty. A purple hyacinth can be a flower you want to send to get yourself out of a jam with your significant other. It symbolizes sorrow and forgiveness. A blue salvia means someone is thinking of you, while a yellow tulip means that someone is hopelessly in love with you!
