Roses remain the most evocative of flowers. For long, they have been considered the symbol of true, genuine love. Well, they still are! Essentially, roses come in different colours, shades and scents. But mark you, there are no blue roses!
And while it is the gesture behind your bunch of flowers that will ultimately carry the day, you will do well to get your colours and variety right. You wouldn’t, after all, mind a few extra points: or would you? Here’s a pick:
- Red Roses: they are the widely acknowledged symbol of love and romance. They indicate beauty and perfection and perfectly serve well in saying ‘I Love You.’.
- White Roses: They signify charm, purity and innocence. In most cases, they are associated with marriages and new beginnings. For instance, if you have recently made up with your spouse or have started a new phase of life together, these are the flowers for you.
- Yellow Roses: They express joy and friendship, warmth and happiness. These are the flowers that will do the trick if offered to a close friend. They are also a good way to wish a sick acquaintance quick recovery.
- Pink Roses: These flowers show perfect happiness and contentment. They are a symbol of grace and elegance, and are offered as an expression of admiration.
- Orange Roses: They define passion and energy and are the embodiment of deep romantic desire and interest.
In addition to roses, you may choose to present a mixed bouquet. It could include some lilies, orchids and carnations. They are not too different from roses in the way they communicate.
For example, orchids symbolize love and beauty. On the other hand, different lilies have different meanings. The white lily will mean purity and sweetness while the tiger lily will romantically challenge your partner on Valentine’s Day.
There are also the daffodils which basically tell your spouse that they are the one! These are perfect if you just landed a new catch and have every intention of making her the one! Tulips depend much on their colours. Red tulips for instance are a declaration of love.
Yellow tulips ask whether your mate is really the one! By offering Yellow tulips you may come across as one wishing to review the direction your relationship is taking. It is also a polite way of showing appreciation and moving on! Variegated tulips on the other end symbolize beautiful eyes!
Make sure you have your flowers right. You can toss each at the spots she loves in your house. To make it more romantic, spread some fresh petals on the bed. Remember, Valentine’s Day is more than a bunch of flowers, so get it right!
