A bouquet of feelings

If you have hope for me,
give me a snowdrop.
If you have joy in seeing me,
give me a marigold.
If you see innocence in me,
give me a daisy.
but if you love me true,
give me a forget-me-not
and a red rose too.

How would you describe me,
with a violet or lilac white?
How would you value me,
with a rosebud or orange blossum?
How do you feel for me,
like a tulip or a jonquil?
I would give you a
sweet william or a honeysuckle.
Remember me always with
a jasmine yellow.
