Amongst the holiday season, Valentine’s Day is by far the most romantic occasion. The words instantly bring red roses to the mind. They have been the most common, yet best-loved gift for Valentine’s Day since times immemorial. As the symbol of love, a bouquet of red roses can be the ideal way of telling someone how much you love them.
The history of giving flowers on Valentine’s Day goes back to the seventeenth century when the language of flowers was introduced by Charles II of Sweden to the west. Since then, flowers have become the non-verbal form of expressing love and friendship.
As the favorite flowers for this day, red roses convey a strong passion and deep emotions towards the person you want to give them to. It is also considered the preferred choice of St. Valentine. For those who want to express their affection or care, there are other colors and flowers which reflect different meanings. The yellow rose is a symbol of friendship, the white of peace while the pink shows fun and happiness.
Other flowers that can be given on Valentine’s Day include red lilies, sunflowers, white tuberoses or even a posy flamboyant amaryllis. A tulip will be like a compliment for the perfect lover. A for-get-me not is an indication of true, enduring love. These flowers will spell your affection, admiration and adulation for the other person and make this day special for them.
Always select flowers for a person according to their personality and mindset. If she/he likes simple, beautiful things, don’t go for overdone arrangement of flowers. Also, think about your relationship before buying flowers so that you don’t indicate any wrong feelings towards a person who may find it annoying or offending.
The markets are flooded with all sorts of flower bouquets and flashy gifts for your Valentine. Just remember that it is the gesture and emotions that make a difference, not the price of a gift. So, a well-chosen bouquet of flowers will have as much or even more value and appreciation than an ostensible, impersonal gift. No matter what type of flower you give to your beloved, it will surely please them and make this romantic day even more memorable.
Let your unspoken emotions find a voice through the beauty and charm of flowers on this Valentine’s Day.
