Send Valentine’s Flowers For a Romantic Day
One of the most popular Valentine’s gifts is flowers. Red roses immediately spring to mind as a symbol of love and affection. Whether they are given as a traditional bunch of a dozen long stemmed red roses or as a single red rose, often associated with a proposal of marriage, the message of love is clear.
Sending flowers for Valentine’s day is certainly a lovely way to show how much you care. Flowers have the ability to express feelings and emotions in a way that words often can’t. This is why choosing the right flower or flowers is important to convey the right message.
The carefully selected flower choice can express just how much you feel for someone. Whereas, the quickly bought bunch from the local petrol station may not have the desired message. So a little thought and research can make all the difference to your Valentine’s day flower gift.
The rose is probably the best loved flower around the world. The red rose in particular has become synonymous with love. However, while the giving of red roses is certainly one of the most popular Valentine flower gifts, it is by no means the only flower to convey love. There are many flowers which have long been associated with feelings of the heart.
In fact different flowers convey very different meanings and messages. This can make the sending of Valentine’s day flowers more romantic and meaningful. So choose the ones which express your feelings of love in the best possible way.
The red tulip (meaning perfect love) has been used since Victorian times as a declaration of love. Tulips are the third biggest selling flower in Holland, where many are grown. They symbolise love and passion and the perfect lover, while the yellow tulip reflects hopeless love.
The carnation (meaning fascination), has long been associated with love, especially red carnations, which symbolise admiration. These make an excellent cut flower as they are long lasting and can last for up to three weeks.
The orchid (meaning love, beauty, seduction and refinement), offer not only long lasting flowers but rather exotic and fascinating flowers too. They can be bought in cut flower form or as a plant. The plants can flower for many weeks, making a much longer lasting reminder of your love.
The lily (meaning beauty), makes a stunning bouquet. These can be highly scented to add to their attraction. They come in various colours such as white or pink, pink being the most popular as a Valentine flower gift. Care should be taken with the pollen as it can stain clothing.
African lilies, Astilbe, Violets, Zinnia and Gladioli all represent love and devotion. These are used to send to someone who is a long distant love and represent how much you miss them or you will stay faithful to them, that they have your love and faithfulness.
The lilac (meaning do you still love me?), are available in white, pink or violet. These also have the added beauty of a wonderful scent. Purple lilacs, hyacinths, asters and azaleas, have all been used in association with first love.
Therefore the sending of Valentine’s day flowers can certainly be one of the most romantic gestures you can do. Whether you send a bunch of flowers or a display, choosing the right Valentines day flowers will ensure the right sentiment to go with it, especially if an explanation of the flower is included.
