Flowers are an excellent gift idea to convey love for a spouse, parent, sibling or girlfriend. Although flowers are often given on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and similar special events, the meaning can change based on the color and choice of flowers.
Blue Flowers
There’s something in the colour blue that lends a universal appeal to the beautiful petals of the flowers and eyes of the beholder. It’s next to impossible to hold your attention elsewhere when these beauties are within the spotting distance. The soothing sensation they unleash on the senses is remarkable.
Lilacs
Botanically known as Syringa, who, according to the Greek mythology was a beautiful nymph, lilacs are among the most stunning looking flowers. Appearing more as a flowery bush than a single flower, lilacs are considered precursor to spring, silently foretelling its arrival.
Hyacinths
Like lilacs, hyacinths too are bushy little flowers that grow on top of the stem. And just as many other flowers, hyacinths too are associated with Greek mythology but today represent a different breed of flowers that have carved a niche for themselves, an identity of their own despite roses and the likes being the most preferred. In general, hyacinths represent sport or play, sincerity and constancy.
Tulips
Originating in Turkey and Persia, where they were also named so for giving a turban-like appearance when in full bloom, just like the turban the Turkish used to wear in those days. Tulips are now among the top choices of flowers.
Orchids
The most preferred of ornamental flowers now, orchids, started out as being more than a symbol – they were believed to be an instrument of virility by the ancient Greeks. It was in the early 20th century that they started out being used as luxurious decorations and today, are among the preferred choices for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and casual expressions.
