In Kate Greenaway's Language of Flowers, the entry for Almond (Flowering) reads: Hope.
Flowers change the dictionary reading
Greenaway distinguishes flowering almond from the common almond entry. That is a reason to preserve the full wording when citing the meaning, rather than shortening everything to almond and combining different entries.
The hopeful reading can work in a personal note about a beginning or a difficult waiting period. Present it as a wish, not a prediction. A flower association cannot promise recovery, success or any particular future outcome.
FAQ
Can this entry be applied to almond nuts?
The cited wording specifies flowering almond; it does not assign the same message to every almond product.
