As everyone knows, Valentine’s Day’s coming up. While you may be single or otherwise cynical about the day, it’s still great to have an excuse to show your loved ones you care! And what’s a better way to send some love than with a bouquet of fresh, fragrant flowers? Here’s a list of what to get for the special people in your life.
Your Parents
Sweet Pea
Sweet pea’s especially useful for thanking someone. Because it’s often given while departing from a good time spent with someone, parents are the perfect recipient when the giver’s a homesick college student.
Pink Calla Lily
Symbolizing admiration, pink calla lilies will express the appreciation and admiration you feel toward your guardians. While other colors have other meanings, pink probably suits this recipient best.
A Friend
Yellow Rose
While red roses are definitely romantic, yellow roses are more associated with friendship. The bright color will surely make your pal’s day!
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemums have many different meanings and significances across cultures but were given in Victorian times as a sign of friendship. White versions of the flower, which represent loyalty, are the ideal choice.
A Significant Other
Red Rose
A classic choice, red roses come to mind when one thinks of romance. You can’t go wrong in giving a romantic partner one of these!
Tulips
The tulip’s another timeless option for expressing romantic love. They also serve as a reminder of new beginnings and the coming spring.
