Roses

Roses are thought to be a sign of prosperity, love, and affection. They make the perfect gift for anniversaries and Valentine’s Day. Red roses are the most popular rose and likely what you think of first when hearing the name.

However, red roses can be expensive, so consider mixing pink roses and other colors into your bouquet. Services like www.800florals.com provide several rose bouquet combinations at various prices.

Tulips

Tulips are an excellent choice year-round but even more so in the springtime. They’re perennial flowers that pop up as the weather warms each year.

The flower is also popular because of its beautiful shape and variety of color choices. Tulips are affordable and represent comfort and warmth.

Lilies

Lilies grow throughout the world and typically have six long petals segments. The segments unite to form a trumpet-like shape. Lilies are a symbol of good luck and fortune.

They’re tall plants, and large flowers look great in bouquets. Lilies are often the star of mixed arrangments. They’re also popular because they’re one of the longest-lasting flower types.

Orchids

Orchids are a unique and exotic-looking flower type. They’re known for being from tropical locations, but two-thirds grow in other areas of the world. It might surprise you that vanilla comes from orchids.

They have a reputation for being difficult to grow but that feature has added to their popularity. Orchids commonly represent fertility, friendship, and luxury.

Carnations

Carnations have a similar size to roses but have a ruffled and delicate look. These flowers are native to Europe and Asia.

They are the most common flower choice for Mother’s Day. In fact, the white carnation is the symbol of a mother’s love.

Gerbera Daisies

Gerbera daisies are native to South Africa and are sometimes called African daisies. The gerbera daisy also grows wild throughout Asia. They’re bright and have multiple petals like a traditional daisy but much larger.

They come in a variety of colors and represent innocence. Consider daisies if you like sunflowers but need a smaller option for your gift.

Irises

Iris flowers are associated with rainbows because of their arching petals. Blue irises are the most common but they also come in purple, yellow, and pink.

These flowers make a statement and are great gifts for people who like to stand out. They represent wisdom, hope, trust, and valor.

Choosing the Best Types of Flowers

When choosing the best types of flowers always consider their meaning and the occasion. Think about who you’re sending them to and their personal tastes and style.

Flowers are always relevant to any holiday, just like perfum, which will always give pleasure to those you present them, some girlfriends I try to give cool bouquets and fragrances from which they always have a pleasant memory of me.
