Flowers for February 14 - Valentine's Day(Valentine's Day) must be chosen taking into account the personal preferences of the girl you love and the place where you plan to have a romantic meeting.
First, let's talk about preferences. Some people like white roses, some like red roses, some like more original flowers(for example, orchids), and some will prefer a flower in a pot to a bouquet. Therefore, it is better to find out in advance what your loved one likes.
On Valentine's Day (February 14), it is customary to give flowers symbolizing love, sympathy, passion, admiration, affection.
According to the “language of flowers” these are roses, orchids, tulips, anthuriums, alstroemerias, asters, carnations, gladioli, forget-me-nots, peonies.
Let's take a closer look at what each of these colors symbolizes.
Roses- their meaning depends on the color. Red roses are a symbol of love and passion. Pink roses - hint at sympathy, romance, tenderness. White roses - purity, innocence.
Roses on February 14 can be presented in a bouquet. Amateurs indoor plants will appreciate roses in a pot.
Orchids- they are given to the most beloved people. On February 14, they usually choose phalaenopsis - orchids that are unpretentious, take root well in the house and delight the hostess with annual flowering (if we're talking about about phalaenopsis in pots). The phalaenopsis in the bouquet is also very a good choice, they will stand for a long time and will not require special care, you just need to periodically change the water in the cones in which the flowers or the whole peduncle are fixed.
Red orchids symbolize passionate love, white orchids symbolize pure love.
Red tulips symbolize pure love. On Valentine's Day, you can give both a bouquet of tulips and blooming tulips in a pot; after flowering, their bulbs can be planted in the front garden. It is better to give tulips in a pot to girls on February 14 who are interested in indoor flowers, love to “tinker” with plants.

Carnations symbolize love. White carnations - pure love, light red carnations - admiration, dark red - deep affection, pink - eternal motherly love. But when choosing a bouquet of carnations for February 14, we recommend choosing white ones; now there are many varieties and varieties of them. It is better not to give red carnations on Valentine's Day, because... in the CIS countries they evoke an association with flowers that are laid at monuments.

Orchids, if it is not a whole peduncle, are usually not given one at a time. The bouquet is made up of at least three.

Carnations, if it is a branch carnation, you can have one sprig or more, if individually, five or more will look good.

If you decide to spend a romantic evening with your beloved in a cafe, restaurant, or just take a walk in the park, then flowers in pots will not be appropriate; in this situation, it is better to choose a not very large bouquet so that your beloved will be comfortable with it.
If you plan to pick her up at home, then the choice of colors is not limited, because... she will be able to leave them at home, and there will be no questions about where to put them or place flowers during a walk. These can be flowers in pots, and huge bouquet and a modest one flower, but chosen and presented with soul.
Whatever and how many flowers you choose for your girlfriend or wife on Valentine’s Day (February 14), the main thing is how you give them, what you say, if it is sincere and with love, then she will definitely appreciate it.
I don’t know about anyone, but personally, until the last moment, I had little interest in flowers. On my way to see my family and friends on my birthday, I would pop into a flower shop for a minute and buy the latest, ready-made bouquet. Most often it was roses different colors and shades. He gave red roses on long stems to his beloved women. This was my thing! This is what we were taught in Soviet times: the rose is the queen of flowers. And you need to go to the queens only with royal flowers! And most importantly, the more expensive the bouquet, the larger and brighter the wrapping paper, the more substantial the gift. This is where all my knowledge about the art of floristry ended. However, as it turned out (and this fact is confirmed by statistics), exactly 80% of men in our country do the same. This state of affairs prompted me to think that it was time to change the situation! And I’ll start, of course, with myself! So, what does a real man need to know about flowers ahead of Valentine's Day? Let's sort all the available information into sections.
FLOWERS THAT ARE PROHIBITED TO GIVE ON VALENTINE'S DAY
Yarrow
In winter, a very popular plant in flower shops is the colorful perennial Achillea. Florists respect it because it does not fade for a long time and does not lose color or petals. It is used as a colorful addition to the main flowers in a bouquet. Although, deciphering the language of flowers, Achillea is a symbol of a bloody and furious war. Well, if you are going to fight with the woman you love only in bed, try to avoid this flower! Especially when choosing a gift for Valentine's Day!
Balsam and basil
Despite their motley, radiant coloring, they will say to your beloved instead of you: “I’m tired of your whims! I hate you!". So, if the flower shop seller offers you a wonderful ornamental plant in a pot - don't agree to anything!
Carnations
Striped and yellow carnations given on February 14th will indicate that you are disappointed and that you want to break off the relationship. So, if you are in a hurry to confess your deep feelings, carnations are not your companions on this day!
Daffodils
Daffodils denote pride and vanity. Therefore, never approach the object of your adoration with such flowers!
The desire to say goodbye, to leave, to break off relationships is also expressed by cyclamen. In general, since ancient times this flower has been a symbol of loneliness. Therefore, it is not recommended to bring it into the house at all, much less place it in the bedroom.
Bright hyacinths mean that you do not trust the person who is nearby, that you are a terrible owner, inclined to constantly be jealous of your soulmate of everyone. If you don't actually feel all these emotions in this moment time, it’s better to refuse to buy such a gift!
And lilies are a completely inappropriate choice for this day. The tiger lily symbolizes pride, the orange one symbolizes hatred, and the yellow one symbolizes lies.
In addition to everything that has already been said, when buying flowers, you should ask about their freshness, and ask them to carefully remove dried petals from the buds and wilted leaves from the stems. After all, presenting your beloved with a bouquet of dried flowers is the greatest disdain for her person, a sign of rejected love, a negligent and indifferent attitude towards her!
But the flowers located on the second shelf will help you preserve your love and emphasize your respect for the high romantic and reverent feeling!
Shelf No. 2. CORRECT, AFFORDABLE BUT - BANAL FLOWERS - ROSES
What does the length of a rose stem mean?
Roses on short stems are given to friends, women, from whom nothing is expected in return. A short stem symbolizes friendly carelessness on the part of the donor, both in the choice of the bouquet and in the person for whom it is intended.
Roses on long stems indicate that the giver is suffering from unrequited feelings, and deep in his soul hopes for reciprocity and a long-term relationship.
What does the color of the buds and the number of flowers in a bouquet mean?
Red roses
Of course, roses the color of blood can only express passionate and deep love between a man and a woman. However, in a bouquet it is possible to “speak” not only the color, but also the quantity. Here are some of the most popular flower combinations and their meanings:
One rose - “I love you.”
Two roses twisted together - “Together forever” (sometimes such a bouquet can indicate an imminent marriage proposal).
Three roses - friendly love (usually such bouquets are given to family and friends).
Seven roses are a sign of indecision, fear of losing a loved one.
11 roses - question: “Will we be together?”
23 roses - “I am yours forever!”
Light Pink Roses
As a rule, the romantic, pastel, noble color of roses also speaks of love. Only about sublime love, more spiritual than carnal, less passionate, but very deep and lasting. A large bouquet of only pink roses presented on Valentine's Day indicates that the person is very happy and wants to shout about his happiness at the top of his voice!
Dark Pink Roses
More often, pink roses rich, bright, juicy color- a symbol of gratitude. Gratitude for the reciprocal feeling, for the years lived together, for the fact that once a person made a fateful decision, he did not regret it.
Orange Roses
Orange roses are the choice of bright personalities who are trying to stand out against the background of existing standards and dogmas. As a rule, this color symbolizes a fleeting, albeit passionate, feeling.
White Rose
These flowers are most often given to their loved ones by idealists who have been searching for the truth all their lives and who believe in the unshakability of an absolute, harmonious feeling. Florists also recommend giving white roses on Valentine's Day to the person you are afraid of losing. Also, flowers with snow-white petals, as a sign of pure, childish love, are presented by sons to their mothers on this day.
Blue Roses
Blue, lilac roses are a symbol of an unreal, inaccessible dream. Sometimes roses of this color are given to girls whom they fell in love at first sight.
What if you want to give your loved one something special, unreal, magnificent? Do you want to amaze, touch, surprise, evoke a response? Do you want to pamper yourself with luxury, show your imagination, say a lot using the language of flowers? Then your bouquet is on shelf No. 3! This is where we placed unique bouquets!
Shelf No. 3. ORIGINAL BOUQUETS FOR YOUR MOST BELOVED AND RELATIVES
Bouquet of Tulips for Valentine's Day
What could be more touching than a real spring flower among the February frosts? In ancient times, the Cossacks brought a precious onion from Holland as a gift to Empress Catherine the Second. For this flower she gave them freedom and new lands. Nowadays, tulips are no longer a sign of court luxury, but still, they do not lose their admirers among the female half of the population of many countries. A tulip in the language of flowers also speaks of love. Only about romantic and perfect love!
Bouquet of Orchids for Valentine's Day
Orchids are one of the most delicate, sophisticated and romantic flowers. They seem to have been “born” in their time to become a symbol of the art of seduction and exquisite, one-of-a-kind attractiveness. Orchids are given to women with a magical look, to women with whom they are madly in love.
Bouquet of Lilacs for Valentine's Day
Lilac in Ancient India was considered a symbol of incredible sexuality and femininity. There, on their first wedding night, the newlyweds’ bed was strewn with purple flowers with a bright aroma. But in our time, a bouquet of lilacs given on February 14 can be considered an indisputable proof of love! After all, Russia is not India, and in order to find lilacs in our latitudes in winter, Valentine in love will have to try very hard! The soft touch of miniature delicate petals can make even the iciest heart melt. In addition, lilac will be your best ally if you are going to ask for forgiveness on Valentine's Day and hopefully ask: “Do you still love me?”
Bouquet of Sunflowers for Valentine's Day
The sunflower is an absolutely incredible and unattainable flower in the middle of winter. But it is this “child of the sun” that has always been considered a symbol of happiness. Therefore, it is also worth looking for, like happiness itself!
The language of flowers is almost as complex as Chinese characters. Yes and in different countries The meaning of some words spoken by flowers can be interpreted differently when translated into the local dialect. The only thing I was finally convinced of after finishing my floral research was that absolutely all flowers speak words of love. Touching, unrequited, passionate, sad, absurd, angry - so understandable and so different at the same time. Learn to listen to them with your heart - it understands more than your brain. Make a bouquet of your feelings and emotions, breathe in unison with the flowers, give them to your loved ones and be fabulously happy! And Saint Valentine will be with you!
Just recently, Valentine's Day, meant to express love and affection, flew across the world. On this day, the most timid fans find the strength to confess their high feelings to their passion. On February 14, flower shops make huge profits. In the USA, for example, profits from 2 to 15 million were expected from the sale of flowers alone. The count is probably still underway.
Despite resistance from some religious and cultural groups, the traditional Western holiday has spread to many countries around the world. Most flowers are imported from Colombia and Ecuador. Now we can get acquainted with the photographic journey of flowers from these overseas countries to a flower kiosk in Los Angeles.

Valentine's Day is a holiday that is celebrated by almost the whole world! But in every country this day is celebrated differently. In Russia, on this day it is customary to give gifts to loved ones. On Valentine's Day, you can easily express your feelings with a gift, a Valentine's card, or flowers, etc. The lovers arrange romantic dinners, walks, invite your significant other to places that are memorable for both of them. And of course one of the most important attributes of this evening is a beautiful bouquet.
How to choose the right flowers for Valentine's Day?
Probably each of us has heard at least once in our lives that flowers have their own language. Yes, yes, every flower has its own meaning, and every color carries a certain subtext. There are many different superstitions and myths associated with flowers or their colors. And even the most non-superstitious people most often adhere to established traditions.
The first place on the list is traditionally occupied by roses. For many, roses have become the embodiment of romance, passion and endless love. Most often, red colors are used to express their feelings. Red roses. But you can communicate your feelings and intentions with the help of other shades of roses. For example, White Rose- a symbol of purity and innocence; pink roses are a symbol of the highest happiness; and a bouquet of white and red roses symbolizes the unity of the two halves. A bouquet for Valentine's Day, collected from roses of various shades, will tell your loved one about all the feelings and experiences that you experience!
Second place belongs to tulips. Tulips are quite popular on Valentine's Day. These flowers are a symbol of pure love and great happiness. Tulips are very loved for their magnificent aroma and beautiful buds. They are beautiful both on their own and in combination with other flowers. Whatever your Valentine's Day ideas, a bouquet of tulips will fit well into any plan.
Third place on our list is occupied by carnations. Carnations are also quite popular on Valentine's Day, perhaps because they don't drain the wallet as much as roses and exotic flowers. However, this does not make them any less beautiful. There are carnations different types and almost all the colors of the rainbow.
Fourth place belongs to gerberas. Traditionally, the gerbera is considered the flower of joy and summer. Like little suns, gerberas can enliven any bouquet. Gerberas are given as gifts on Valentine's Day, as well as on March 8th. Gerbera is also a symbol of freshness and love. Gerbera is a flower of paradoxes: it symbolizes both mystery and openness to the world. A bouquet of these flowers can not only lift your spirits, but also significantly improve the atmosphere in the room. More suitable for impulsive and bright women.
Fifth on our list of flowers for Valentine's Day are orchids! Orchid is a symbol of sophistication, tenderness, love. A symbol of intimacy, which is why this beautiful flower is usually given only to loved ones. I would like to pay special attention to bouquets decorated with sweets and other decorative materials. Bouquets of flowers and sweets attract not only with their beauty, but also with a sweet surprise. Such a bouquet will not leave any representative of the fair sex indifferent and will be a great gift for a man.

On Valentine's Day, it is customary to surprise your significant other with various gifts, give compliments, arrange pleasant surprises. But, of course, every woman in love expects from her lover gorgeous bouquet colors. A bouquet given specifically for Valentine's Day can be regarded as a declaration of sympathy or even love. However, men do not always know what flowers they can give their girlfriend and what they mean.
What do flowers tell you?
The most popular among flowers is, of course, roses. They have long become the most romantic flowers not only for Valentine's Day, but also for any other holiday. Red roses are a symbol of passionate and sincere love. Any bouquet of roses of any color will look very festive and truly romantic.
The exception is yellow roses, since yellow symbolizes loneliness and separation.
Also, lilies are considered one of the most favorite flowers among women; bouquets of them look very delicate. Besides, good option Carnations will be used for the Valentine's Day bouquet. They stand and look very elegant and festive. Carnations come in almost every color of the rainbow, so you're sure to be able to find one that's perfect as a gift for your significant other.
On this wonderful holiday, you should not forget about flowers such as tulips, because it is tulips that symbolize endless happiness.
They can convey your most ardent feelings to your girlfriend, without words.
Gerberas are also revered among holiday flowers; they can be combined in any way, thanks to a large palette of colors.
Color matters too
If you please your beloved with the flowers that you gave her on the first date, she will appreciate it to the highest degree, because this is how memories are preserved and traditions are created for a couple in love.
Red flowers symbolize love and passion. Men should be careful with bouquets of red flowers on Valentine's Day, because on this holiday it can even be accepted as a marriage proposal.
If the bouquet given by your significant other contains a red flower, even just one, remember that this is a symbol of the heart that is given to you. Pink bouquets speak of tender feelings. Also, the bouquet will turn out very beautiful if it combines flowers of different shades, then it will look truly beautiful and surprisingly delicate.
