With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we will receive the inevitable calls regarding the meaning of flowers. There is now masses of info online, both about the meaning of particular flowers, but also the colour. Apart from the obvious, i.e. red roses for love/passion and white for purity, it’s really a minefield. Lavender is listed as devotion or distrust, yellow roses friendship or falsehood. Green flowers were apparently the secret symbol of Oscar Wilde followers. Many flowers and herbs were used for healing purposes, or to ward off bad spirits. Flowers have always been present at auspicious occasions, & used to denote the seasons, but with globalisation came all year round availability, and I notice that the younger generation don’t know to which season our indigenous flowers belong. I think a bouquet of flowers is a message in itself – a gentle gesture – a priceless gift. You can’t go wrong with flowers. http://www.stemsfloraldesign.com A British soldier was posted out to Afghanistan in September for five months, & he called me before he left to organise a weekly delivery of flowers to his partner who works in The West End. All 23 card messages were emailed across to me, and the flowers were delivered every Monday. He’s now safely home on British soil,& emailed to say how much the flowers meant to his partner. Top man! I reminded him about the imminent arrival of Valentine’s Day! http://www.stemsfloraldesign.com
Make the right choice – send flowers! If you want the best Valentine’s Day flowers, contact a proper florist. If you need advice on what to choose, you will get expert help. Give the florist your budget, and ask what they suggest. They will be able to tell you what’s best at this time of year, which flowers are available in your colour of choice, and whether your budget is suitable. Red roses are the epitome of romance, but do not suit all tastes & budgets. If you want to spend around £30, I would suggest a mixed bouquet. Let the florist know what’s important to you – colour, long lasting flowers,stem length, roses? You will then get the best deal.
