Flowers the perfect way to say ...

Some people especially men, find it difficult to put their feelings of love in words. So one of the ways they can con- vey their affectionon special occasions such as Valentine's Day is to give flowers to the important ladies in their lives. It can be just a single flower: a rose, carnation, or an ex- quisite orchid; a few blooms in an elegant vase; an arrange- ment, or bouquet. Red is the traditional color for the lover's festival, since it stands for deep passionate love. White represents pure love, thus being suitable for a platonic friend, although a small bit of white is often used to offset the deep red. Rosebuds can symbolise a new love, and full-blown blooms a lasting relationship. But you should also be flexible, and choose the colors that you think your beloved would like, whether pink, peach, yellow, mauve or combinations thereof. Bear in mind that it's not only your girlfriend or wife who should appreciate flowers, but also your mother, grandmother, sister, aunt or cousin. And daughters will be thrilled to get a flower from their dads! Some ladies take special delight in having flowers and gift baskets delivered to their workplaces; and they can also send presents to their guys at the office. But our florists are very busy at this time, so be sure to order as soon as possible. Carrying a flower or corsage to present to your dinner date is also a very romantic gesture that the lady will appreciate.
