Flowers
It has always been that red red rose that gets top billing when you have to express it with flowers. Flowers bring on a positive lift to the spirit and can be the best all-occasion gift you can send to friends, family and loved ones. In fact, studies conducted at the State University of New Jersey have substantiated that simply having flowers around you produces remarkably positive emotions. Now there’s great reason to send that bouquet – and especially picked flower choices may add a boost to the emotion you wish to convey.
Cheer up a friend who’s spiritually down or is under the weather with some sunflowers. The colors, like the sun, exude an air of warmth, happiness and adoration. Sunflowers have been observed to regenerate a dormant spirit.
If the roses run out, tulips are a great and stunning alternative. Tulips are known to generally symbolize perfect love. That’s why they are a primary and fitting choice for weddings and anniversaries. Carnations on the other hand, with their simplicity and laid-back character, carry with them the expression of sincerity and gratitude. That is why they are always an appropriate pick for Mother’s Day bouquets and floral arrangements.
The lively and vibrant Gerbera daisies implicate bubbly innocence and purity and are the top pick for birthdays and spur of the moment events. They are a common sight in baby showers, sweet sixteen parties and debuts and graduation celebrations.
Lilies, especially the stargazer and Asiatic or tiger varieties, are a popular choice for milestone events. They are bold, sturdy and exuberant flowers and carry the symbol of wealth, aspiration and prosperity. That’s probably why you find lilies during milestone events such as store openings, congratulatory feats, and business or political affairs. They are also a favorite in most hotel entrances and lobbies as they exude class and sophistication.
It’s more than just the color or smell of the flowers. Flowers possess that intrinsic character carrying a variety of sentiments in them. Go say it with flowers!
