Flower Gift Arrangements
The flower is a quixotic thing. Not only do these chards of nature possess radiant beauty, but they also host a wealth of meanings depending on the type, the color and the floral arrangement. Not everyone is familiar with “the language of flowers” today, as they were in the Victorian era, but adding a letter to explain your selection is a great way to demonstrate your thoughtfulness and up the romance while you’re at it.
If you are considering a flower arrangement for someone’s birthday, then there are certain blooms associated with each month, just like birthstones. January’s flowers are carnations and snowdrops, whereas February is represented by violets and primrose.
March is jonquils and violets; April is sweet peas and daisies; May is hawthorn and lilies-of-the-valley; June is honeysuckle and roses; July is larkspurs and water lilies; August is poppies and gladiolus; September is asters and the morning glory; October is the marigold; November is the chrysanthemum and lastly, December is the holly and poinsettia. The flowers you choose should take the recipient’s favorite color and personal preferences into consideration too.
Receiving a beautiful flower bouquet will bring aroma, color and life to one’s home. The beautiful arrangement will be a reminder of the kindness and generosity of the giver. Though the flowering blooms may die, it will remain in one’s mind as an enduring symbol of well wishes.
Perhaps that’s why American botanist and science pioneer Luther Burbank said, “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.”
