Smelling flowers before someone you love dies? Smelling the scent of lilacs when there are none? In this post we discuss what it means -

Deceased Loved Ones, Angels, and Ancestors can all use flowers and their fragrance to connect with you. 

The Holy Spirit is also known to smell like flowers, and the scent of flowers is often related to the presence of Angels and Saints. 

You can even make offerings to the Spirit World through the sweet gift of flowers, which is why you see them present at almost any holy event. 

When your Loved Ones, Guides, and Angels send you a sign of their presence via flower, it's usually a particular flower they chose to send you.

Spirit will often choose a flower that will bring you happiness and has a specific meaning in it, so the presence of it can provide a more profound symbolism. 

When looking for a floral Sign from Spirit, keep your eye and nose out for these five most common types of flower signs and what they mean.

The 5 Most Common Floral Signs

1. Your Favorite Flowers

Be on the lookout for a gift from Spirit in the form of your favorite flowers.

Your Deceased Loved Ones, Guides, and Angels want to send you signs of their presence and want to bring you joy and beauty when reminding you of their presence.

What could bring you more joy than unexpectedly sending you a scent or sight of your favorite flower?

Many times, Spirit will get your attention by infusing your life with encounters and fragrances of your favorite flowers. 

Think for a moment - which flower brings you the most joy? Hyacinth, Rose, Jasmine?

When you smell these fragrant beauties around with no actual flowers, as they are rare outside of certain seasons, know it can be a gift from Spirit.

2. Their Favorite Flowers

Did your mother, father, or grandmother have a favorite flower?

If so, try to remember what it was.

If you begin to see and smell the scent of these flowers popping up into your awareness when you least expect it, it could be a sign of them and a hint of clairalience.

Spirit will send you flower signs that symbolize their essence. 

Be on the lookout for your loved one's favorite flowers showing up in your yard, in the grocery store, on the side of the road, or even in your search algorithms. Anywhere where you would least expect to see them.

Many flower signs from Loved Ones can come as a fragrance as much as receiving an unexpected bouquet.

Don't know your Loved Ones' favorite flowers? 

Many Spirits use Roses.

They're ubiquitous, have a strong fragrance, and you can find them anywhere. Roses also have one of the highest spiritual vibrations of all flowers, so they are a common one for Angels, too. 

3. Spring Flowers

Spring flowers, especially bulb flowers like Daffodils, represent renewal, rebirth, and eternal life. 

Daffodils and other early spring flowers are often a sign and reminder of eternal life and the link with Spirit that exists across all perceived barriers of Heaven and Earth. This is why spring flowers are often funeral gifts. 

Love is a cyclical force which also returns.

Seeing new life, regrowth, and regeneration as soon as the snow stops flying is a symbol that joy, love, and happiness is eternal. 

Because of the nature of Spring flowers, and especially bulbs, they make a great sign that your Loved Ones are eternal with you.

Spring flowers are a sign that even though they may not always be visible to you, Spirit may sometimes be dormant, it is a force that's always there, just like many bulb forms of Spring flowers. 

Crocus, Snowdrops, Daffodil, Lilacs, and Dwarf Iris are all flowers that can symbolize Spirit. 

4. Trinity Flowers

Trinity flowers that represent the Holy Spirit, such as Lilies, are favorites to be used by your Deceased Loved Ones as signs of their presence.

These flowers represent the eternal connection between yourself, your Loved Ones, and the Divine, known as a three-way link. 

Iris, a common spirit sign, represents the Trinity and makes a great spirit sign.

Trinity flowers are an ever reminder of our relationship to the Divine and our Loved Ones, Guides, and Angels on The Other Side.

Common trinity flowers include Lilies, Iris, Tulips, and Trilliums. 

5. Yellow, White And Pink Flowers

Light, pastel colored flowers are favorites of Angels. White and yellow are often colors that resemble both happiness and joy and pure love, eternal life, and connection with Spirit.

Yellow symbolizes hope, new beginnings, and joy. 

Sunflowers are all about the Light, so they make an excellent symbol for Spirit and a popular sign.

White often symbolizes purity, oneness with Spirit and the innocence we all return to when we each crossover.

Pink is a hue that signifies love, compassion, and grace. These are the energies that your Loved Ones in Spirit are conveying when they visit you.

Often, the pink flowers that are used as signs from your Loved Ones are Roses or Carnations.

Sunflowers, Marigolds, Chrysanthemums, White Primrose Anemone, and other yellow and white make great Spirit signs. 

Flower signs are unique from other symbols of presence, as they can come to you via a physical appearance or scent fragrance.

That is - you can see them, smell them or both, and have it be a sign.

Now that we’ve gone over the types of florals Spirits can use to make their presence known, how do you ask for a flower sign?

Asking For A Floral Sign from Spirit

You can ask for a sign from Spirit through flowers at any time of the year.

Here are three steps to catch a flower sign -

#1

Think of the loved one or think of the message you have in mind and want to be verified.

#2

Decide what type of floral sign you want - your favorite flowers, theirs, spring flowers, Roses, or a universal flower sign. Try to be as specific as possible with your request.

The more precise you are with what type of floral sign you want, the more accurate Spirits will be in giving it to you. And the more likely you are to believe it when you see it because it's already been narrowed down.

#3

Ask for Spirit to send you a sign as this flower.

Quiet your mind, take a few deep breaths, and try to get as focused as possible when you ask for a Sign from Spirit. You can give a timeline. If you want a purple Iris within three days - say so.

The final step is to open your heart, eyes, and nasal passages to receive your floral signs from Spirit. Watch for flower signs coming to you through the internet, your next trip out of the house, or other people.

To recap, the 5 most common flower signs
