Ok… Giving flowers to your lady is great but today I hand delivered some flowers to a close “friends” job and she was happy at first but once everyone started asking questions about who they were from she became bitter about them. BtW, It was here 3rd time in 2 weeks receiving flowers at work from me. Had a death in the family so i sent Lillies, 2 days later I send a dozen rose, then today 3 roses and a teddy bear…. I believe that some of the people at her work were just a little jealous and were giving her a hard time causing her to get embarrassed and bitter…. Really? I say forget them and be happy!!!!

Hey, don’t forget that you can give flowers when they give a performance (a play, a dance recital, etc)

For those of you gents lucky enough to live in the country, why don’t you try putting a new spin on things and pick your lady some wildflowers? They may not have specific meanings like those mentioned above, but chances are they’ll be more unique than the everyday, run-of-the-mill, Walmart varieties.

Plus, it gives you another reason to escape into the wilderness for a few hours while you search for a custom-selected bouquet that will charm the heck out of your true love.

Nothing says “I’m romantic AND creative” like a handful of freshly picked wildflowers.

Well, this is great! I, admittedly, forgot about this. (Gulp!). Thanks for the refresher! Great value, as always!

Well done :-)

I break out in a sweat when I go shop flowers, but even I can use a one-page shopping cart! Just one thing -- I notice a random flower gift can make a woman mighty suspicious ; ) maybe use an imaginary reference to "you know, the first time we..." nothing dirty, necessarily, just memorable, even if you already forgot!

[...] Similarly, the Victorians used them as a symbolic form of language – to express a feeling or a verbal communication that the propriety of the times would not allow. A specifically designed bouquet, for example, could convey a silent message to an illicit lover – all depending on the colour, arrangement and quantity of flowers used. Image Source [...]

I abosolutly LOVE the daisys… i know most females like the expensive stuff, but i am perfectly content with the simpler things in life, daisys are the fruit of life and love. Love the best you can with the least amount of luxuries and you two will become closer than ever. :))

-the loved one

“It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously. Women eat this stuff up” It’s true. We do.

Good article and comments!
If you choose special flowers to go together for meaning, and want to avoid sending a codebook, your florist will usually have free message cards that you can either handwrite (if you’re there in person) or have them print out and deliver along with the bouquet. You can say something like, “Sarah – This unique bouquet was handpicked for you: yellow roses for happiness, phlox for unity. You are my only sunshine, my days would be dark without you. Glad we’re together! Love, Fred” Granted, that’s a little sappy. But it doesn’t take much to translate when your flowers do most of the talking. :)
