Abstract: In literature, plants and flowers often represent emotions, beauty and its symbolic meaning can take on new depths beyond the silky texture of the flower or its fragrance. The pain often accompanying love, found in the bloom’s thorns, can express the dual nature of love and other expressions. As time passed, poets expressed their ideas via flora in various ways. This article focuses on how Edmund Spenser, the representative of the sixteenth century poetry used flora to describe people and their characters in his poems and analyses them carefully by giving some examples.
Key words: comparison, symbolic meanings, rose, lily, gillyflower, pinks, bellamoure, jasmine, apple, cherry.
