The color yellow has many positive associations. To begin, yellow is associated with the sun, which brings light, positive energy, and warmth to the world. While all plants get energy from the sun, yellow flowers in particular seem to embody its positive traits.

One thing to note is that different yellow flowers have their own set of meanings. For more details on some of them, just click on the flower names with links listed above.
Because yellow flowers symbolize joy, hope, and optimism, they make great gifts for people whose spirits you want to lift. In addition, they bring happy energy to gardens and indoor flowerpots.
Yellow is also the color of gold. So, yellow flower symbolism also includes good fortune, wealth, and prosperity. For example, in some African cultures, yellow symbolizes affluence and status.1
In addition to its association with gold and prosperity, yellow symbolizes the third chakra, or energy center, in the body. Called the solar plexus chakra, or Manipura in Sanskrit, the yellow chakra governs your gut instincts, courage, and willpower. In fact, in Japan, yellow symbolizes bravery.2
So, by association, yellow flowers symbolize courage, instincts, and willpower. Thus, they make great gifts for those who need a boost of confidence, are going through a challenging time, or are embarking on a new adventure. In the home or garden, yellow flowers are also positive symbols to remind you that you have more strength and power than you think you do!
In addition, yellow flowers and their essential oils can be used when you are working on opening or tuning up your solar plexus chakra.
Yellow flower meaning also represents bright ideas – like a lightbulb moment – as well as inspiration, and imagination. In this way, they are associated with angel numbers 911 and 777 meaning, which both have similar associations. So, yellow flowers make great gifts for artists and for yourself to spark your creativity.
Finally, yellow flowers symbolize one of the greatest gifts in life, which is friendship. Any day of the week is the perfect time to show a friend you care and appreciate them being a part of your life.
