Birthday Flowers for Her
Does she lean toward a traditional
sensibility or is she thrilled by the
next new thing? Does she thrive in the
spotlight or prefer quiet admiration?
Don’t underestimate the impact of a
classic floral bouquet for the
tradition-loving type. She’ll appreciate
its timeless style and savor its simple
beauty. For those who are ruled by a
more adventurous streak, look to an
arrangement created from exotic blooms.
If she's more
the type to appreciate cheerful things, consider a somewhat
unconventional bouquet, like a bunch of bright, robust sunflowers or a
joyful bouquet of spring flowers.
If she fancies attention, tell the world
it’s her day with a birthday arrangement
that’s a party in itself—complete with a
birthday balloon and a festive
vase. Or send her a plant and fruit basket
combination to share with friends. If
she's the type who’s more comfortable
with understated appreciation, send the
quiet beauty of an orchid or the earthy
richness of a planted garden. |

Flowers for Him
Men love flowers! A survey conducted by
the Society of American Florists showed
that over 60% of men surveyed would like
to receive flowers on Valentine's Day.
Men love to get flowers for the same
reason they send them - to be
recognized. Everyone likes to feel
special. A good indicator of when it
might be appropriate to send flowers
would be to consider his favorite
occasions for sending them. Does he send
flowers for birthdays, or perhaps as a
thank you? Don't forget that no reason
is often the best reason! Just as women
love receiving flowers for no reason at
all, a surprise floral gift will surely
catch his attention too.
The Best Designs and Colors for Men
Men are stimulated by color and are
visually oriented. Research shows that
men prefer vivid colors such as yellow,
orange and red. Flower arrangements that
are contemporary, linear styles or
natural styles are best. |

Thank You
As you learned at a very young age,
saying “thank you” doesn't just make
the other person feel good, it gives
something back to you as well.
Appreciation, it seems, has a wonderful
boomerang effect.
Don’t wait for a generous gesture on a
grand scale to send thank-you flowers—so
often it’s the simple good deeds and
seemingly small gestures throughout the
day that make such a big difference to
us.
Surprise someone with a seasonal bouquet
to complement any décor. Or send a low
or compact arrangement that’s designed
to work especially well on a desk or
small table. A fruit or gourmet basket
is always a welcome, indulgent treat,
and a green or flowering plant will
serve as a lasting reminder of your
appreciation. |

Get Well
The best Get Well bouquets offer
heartfelt concern as well as an
uplifting distraction. They’re a breath
of fresh air for someone stuck indoors
and a colorful companion when you can’t
be there.
There’s no tricky etiquette for sending
flowers to someone who’s ill—and, as the
ultimate feel-good gift, it’s virtually
impossible to go wrong—but it’s useful
to take into account a few
considerations when selecting the best
arrangement.
Anyone recovering from minor surgery or
making their way through a lingering—but
not serious—illness, is likely to be
thrilled to receive a mixed bouquet
bursting with brightly colored flowers
or an arrangement accompanied by a “Get
Well” card or a cheerful keepsake
vase. But if the person’s illness is
more serious or long lasting, you might
consider a sophisticated, understated
arrangement—from a miniature garden
basket to a tone-on-tone bouquet, or the
simple beauty of a delicate orchid.
If the person is likely to receive a
steady stream of visitors, an
arrangement accompanied by a plant and
fruit or gourmet basket will not only
cheer them up but make it easy for them
to be a gracious host without even
getting out of bed. |

Love and Romance
Exquisite, lush, fragile and nothing
less than breathtaking… all good reasons
why flowers, love and romance have been
inextricably linked for thousands of
years. When the occasion calls for
celebrating a romantic milestone—or
simply affection’s strong pull—a bouquet
of flowers sends an intimate message
without saying a word.
A romantic gesture can come in many
different shapes and sizes—from a glass
vase overflowing with two dozen roses,
to a mixed bouquet filled with an
assortment of silky, colorful blooms, to
the graceful beauty of an exotic orchid.
With a range of colors to celebrate your
feelings—red making a bold statement,
white conveying pure love, pink
expressing joy, and yellow commemorating
friendship and caring—flowers offer you
a multitude of ways to say what’s in
your heart. |
