Romantic Gestures

Valentines Day is a week away and flower prices are through the roof.  The wholesale price for a single rose is $2 or more.  This Valentines Day, think about getting your sweet heart a bouquet with a message instead of expensive, traditional roses.  Here are some bouquet ideas for you:


The flower dedicated to St. Valentine is the crocus.  This flower asks the receiver to not abuse the senders love.  Mix it with a Jonquil and it will ask the receiver to return affection.

A bouquet of red tulips declares your love.  Tulips are in their prime season right now and make a lovely bouquet. 

A variegated tulip tells your sweet heart that he/she has beautiful eyes.

Red carnations speak of your deep love and affection.  Or go with white carnations that symbolize pure love.

For new couples, getting a bouquet of hyacinths or purple lilac symbolizes the emotions of a new love.

For the ladies, you can give your men an arrangement with anthurium to express your intense attraction or a sunflower bouquet which represents a feeling equal to the power of the sun.  

For flowers on the more sensual side give a bouquet of snapdragons which state "lets be impetuous" or sweet pea's which mean "lasting pleasures".
