1. Roses
Roses are the most popular cut flower for a reason. They are not only beautiful to look at but have an incredible scent. The red rose, of course, symbolizes love and romance. The yellow rose symbolizes friendship. Did you know that the coral rose symbolizes desire?
2. Lilies
Lilies are typically associated with devotion, innocence, and purity. White lilies especially exude these meanings. Pink lilies symbolize adoration and femininity. Orange lilies (often called tiger lilies) mean wealth and confidence. Sending lilies to your special someone can also be good luck, so if they need luck, lilies are a great choice. These kinds of flowers also make a stunning bouquet. The meaning of the Lily flower may change depending on culture, so make sure they are lucky flowers for the culture of the person you are sending them to! Flower etiquette is important if you want to get it right!
3. Sunflowers
Next on our list of flower options; the brightest, happiest flower! You can’t go wrong with a bunch of sunflowers. A happy flower that will brighten up anybody’s day, sunflowers are also a symbol of loyalty. Sunflowers are beautiful as a standalone bunch or as part of a fresh flower arrangement.
4. Ranunculus
These are slightly less common cut flowers. They look a little like roses but have a more cup-shaped flower. Available in beautiful hues of pink and red, they typically represent attraction and charm. Perfect for sending someone you are dazzled by!
5. Orchids
These exotic flowers are another symbol of love and passion. They come in a variety of colors and are a little more exciting than sending roses. If you want to be a little unpredictable, then send orchids rather than roses.
6. Hydrangeas
These bright, cheerful, large flowers are native to Asia and the Americas. Sending someone flowers always has meaning. Hydrangeas are the perfect flower to send to show gratitude and deepfelt emotion to someone special.
Can’t Choose Between The Different Types of Flowers?
Then why not send a bouquet that mixes some of the best? Roses and lilies make a beautiful bouquet when combined, as do lilies and orchids. A food basket also works as an exceptional gift to send along with flowers. If you choose flowers for a bouquet or arrangement, stick to the same color tones that are appealing to look at. A bright blue hydrangea with an orange lily may look a little odd. Try to keep to the color preferences of your recipient.
