WHEN WORDS FAIL US, FLOWERS SAY IT BEST

Flowers say it all: I love you, I’m truly sorry, congratulations, condolences, best wishes, happy birthday, happy anniversary…whatever the occasion, there is a floral arrangement or live plant to say what words alone cannot express.

Since time began and flowers bloomed, people have been giving flowers to mean the things we are too shy to say, but which our hearts can not contain.

By tradition, some flowers have specific symbolic meanings, which are often romantic:
•  Red roses –                   “I love you passionately”
•  Red Chrysanthemums – “I love you”
•  Forget-me-nots –           “True love”   
•  Lilacs –                         “First true love”
•  Red Tulips –                  “You’re the perfect lover”
•  Hyacinths –                   “I’m sorry”
•  Daffodils –                    “You're the only one for me”
•  Primroses–                   “Young love”
•  Baby's Breath –             “I’m sincere”
•  Pink Carnations –          “You’re unforgettable”

But you’re not limited to these selections and you’re not bound by tradition. Simply choose the flowers that are appropriate to the situation and which appeal to your own sensibilities.Whether you choose a solitary, discreet single stem, bright but unassuming rose, or a gorgeous bouquet, complete with bow and cookies, you're sure to brighten someone's day.
