What is the meaning of yellow tulip?

Answer 1

Yellow is most well-known as a symbol of friendship. However, yellow flowers can also represent joy, new beginnings, intellectual energy, happiness and lightheartedness.

Answer 2

"Yellow flowers mean friendship."

In some cases, this may be correct, but it's not true with tulips (or with a number of other flower, for that matter). Yellow tulips can symbolize hopeless love or happiness in one's life. Yellow carnations symbolize rejection or disdain. Marigolds, which are yellow-gold, can symbolize jealousy, grief, and cruelty. So don't just send any yellow flowers; you might send the wrong message!
