All colours have its' unique meaning and purpose!


The Meaning of Every Rose Colour You've probably heard that "a rose is a rose is a rose," but while perfectly poetic, the Victorians wholeheartedly disagree. Flower meaning dictionaries were quite popular during the Victorian era  for instance, pink carnations meant "I will never forget you," and chrysanthemums meant "truth." Though people didn't necessarily send secret messages through buds and bouquets, the meanings were still important to people during that period. We think this bit of historical trivia is pretty charming, so we explored this recently published flower dictionary to discover the meanings behind different kinds of roses  so you know exactly what you're getting into if you give flowers this Valentine's Day.

1. Red rose: If you planned on delivering this classic choice to your significant other, you're in luck. It means "love." 

2. White rose: But maybe save these babies for a melancholy moment. They mean "a heart unacquainted with love." 

3. Pink rose: Deliver the gift of "grace" when you send a friend these sweet blooms. 

4. Peach rose: These bashful beauties signify "modesty."

5. Purple rose: A quirkier hue calls for a quirkier meaning; violet shades lend themselves to "enchantment."

6. Burgundy rose: These flowers mean "unconscious beauty." Perhaps because they feel inferior to the more classic red rose?

7. Orange rose: An energetic, curious colour comes with a meaning to match: "fascination.

"8. Yellow rose: You wouldn't think it cruel to gift someone a bouquet, but these sunny flowers imply "infidelity.

The Pizza Story


Who invented Pizza? Pizza now is the most sought out food all over the world. It is amore than a century since the first Pizza shop came into being. 
Who first made it?
How did it get this name?
These all are questions that slip through the minds of Pizza fans. According to available stories, it was one Esposito who made the first Pizza in honour of the Italian King Umberto and Queen Margherita during their visit to Naples in 1889. He was called to cook something special. His recipe included fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. 
A steaming pie..... spreading the aroma of a hot bread, gently slipping out of the oven .... Pizza has become a delicacy for everyone all over the world. 
With simmering tomato sauce,  spicy garlic, and sizzling pepper powder, you are with the all time favourite food - Pizza. 
It made its' Royal journey from Naples through Spain, France, England, and the United States - all through Italian immigrants. The second world war soldiers , when returning to their homes from overseas, began to ask for their favourite bread. It resulted in Pizza's popularity. 
G. Lombardi's, the first ever Pizzeria in US which was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi is still open with its' original oven and baking tradition. The location has changed a bit; that's it. 
Pizza was not that same flatbread cooked by various cultures with variety decorations and toppings. we need to thank the Italians for the name, the bread and the taste.
