I have an old British Book from the 60s called the 'Language of 
Flowers" And here is what this book says about what Flowers 
represent. There seems to be some differences between my book and 
your website.

    Lilae, field- Humility
    Lilae, purple- First emotions of love
    Lilae, white- youthful innocense
    Lent Lilly- Sweet Disposition
    Lily, Day- Coquetry
    Lily, yellow- falsehood, gaiety
    Lilly of the Valley- Return to Happiness
    Plyanthus, Lilae- confidence
 
What about Lupin (as in Remus)
    Lupin- Voraciousness


Petunia:
     Never Despair
