How to pick out Valentine's Day flowers

01/06/09

With Valentine's Day around the corner, the best selection and quality of flowers available to the public appear during February.

Here are some helpful tips about choosing the best flowers for that special someone.

Colors

Since the majority of flower recipients are women, the most popular color of flowers, particularly roses, is red. Jan Miller, owner of Steve's Floral, said, "Men see red as the color of love."

Other colors are appropriate for Valentine's Day as well, including white, yellow, pastel colors, peach and purple. Just make sure you avoid colors that speak of death — black or withered flowers. Those colors are guaranteed to make your relationship dry up more quickly than snow in June.

Types

Traditionally, roses have been the flower of love. However, mixed bouquets and blooming plants work well too.

Tulips, daffodils and irises are popular expressions of love on Valentine's Day. Remember to choose fresh flowers rather than silk ones, because even though they do not last as long, fresh flowers emphasize the genuine feelings of love toward the recipient.

Arrangements

The traditional dozen red roses for Valentine's Day is still popular, but there are other options as well. You can spice up any arrangement by adding balloons, candy or small stuffed animals to it.

Don't be afraid to ask the sales people for help, that is why they are there. They can help you pick out the perfect arrangement that fits your taste or budget.

If dozens of roses aren't your style, talk to the salespeople about other types or colors of flowers that convey the same message, only in a unique way.

No matter what sort of flowers you choose, as long as it comes from the heart, the recipient will be grateful. The most important thing to remember this Valentine's Day is that it is the day of love, so with or without flowers, do something special to show her you love her.

If you run out of ideas, remember you can never go wrong with 12 gorgeous red roses.
