Here's a story I heard not long ago about the importance of sending Valentine's Day flowers to a loved one:
"Only a few years ago, I would have argued that ladies do not send flowers to men. Before I fell in love with my husband, he had never before received flowers from a woman. I decided to do it as part of a romantic Valentine's Day celebration. His goal was to take me to a special dinner occasion. My goal was to do something unusual and romantic that would leave him in no doubt that I enjoyed the adventure of our relationship.
There was a major snowstorm that left a foot of snow at our house that night. He was extremely sick with a stomach virus. So much for his romantic dinner plans. I had planned a romantic treasure hunt that would end in a passionate kiss. So much for that plan. The only part of Valentine's Day that we were able to celebrate that night was the flowers that I had sent him."
People can send flowers for many different reasons, and out of many different motives. Many people give flowers to others as tokens of their friendship, appreciation, or sympathy. Others will send flowers as celebrations of a special event or a milestone, such as a job promotion or a musical performance.
You can send spring flowers this season for birthdays, Mother's Day, or any other festive occasion. Another choice would be to select the recipient's favorite kind of flower and send a bouquet of those to their doorstep. Special flowers for spring might also be blossoms of the recipient's favorite color or aroma. Daisies, crocuses, cherry blossoms, and tulips are popular spring blooms.
There are now any number of possibilities for individuals to send flowers. The simplest is to look on the web or phone a florist and pay with plastic. Alternatively, if you are in the area, consider going into a shop and finding just the right choice. Delivery can be done by you or one of their handy associates. No matter how the transaction is accomplished, remember to send flowers.
People still send flowers for sentimental reasons, of course. Every kind of flower had its own meaning in the Victorian era, and a few types of flower had more than one meaning. Azaleas stood for abundance, while irises symbolized inspiration. A few flowers' meanings, however, were not so positive. Giving lavender stood for distrust, and striped carnations meant rejection.
So it is probably a good thing to ask a few questions or do a bit of research before sending flowers to send a message to a loved one or mark a special occasion. Those flowers you send will speak to people in ways you may not even be aware of.
