Sending Flowers on Valentine’s Day

The world is full of flowers. Visit any place dedicated to flowers and you will be amazed at the types of flowers, and facts about them. Flowers come in all shapes, and colors. Some of them can intoxicate you with their lovely perfume. Some are so delicate that one fears touching them. But all of them are stunningly beautiful.

Throughout time, the gift of blooming wild flowers was a common practice to demonstrate romantic love or affection between partners on Valentine's Day. Daisy flowers became a sort of "yes-no" love divination. Today, daisies have their own meaning of innocence and loyal love, associated with the fifth wedding anniversary.

During the 19th century, roses became the flower of choice, having different meanings according to their color or numbers of flowers given on Valentine's Day. A dozen red roses remains the classic Valentine's Day gift. However, many women report that they adore roses in other colors just as much. While the red rose is all for love, the yellow has a meaning of friendship and the pink is all about happiness. There are hundreds of colors to choose from. The choices are endless and it's easier than ever to select a rose that is as unique as your sweetheart.

But roses, while traditional, may not be the best choice for your sweetheart. You have to keep in mind what type of flower arrangement, including color and type of flower, would suit the recipient best. Consider a sunflower for the person in your life. The meaning of this Valentine’s Day flower is admiration. Your special someone will feel adored by you all day long. How about a For-get-me not? This flower means true love. You could not say it any better. A tulip given on Valentine’s Day has a meaning of the perfect lover. Now that is a great compliment.

Women are not the only floral recipients on this holiday; men love to receive flowers too. The meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers for the man in your life is a symbol of love, and the arrangement should be kept simple and masculine.

The meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers can be whatever you would like. The person receiving them will appreciate that you thought of them on this day no matter what type of flowers you give. One thing is for sure, he or she will love the thought behind this gift that speaks ever so loudly to the heart without even saying a word.
