Good article and comments!
If you choose special flowers to go together for meaning, and want to avoid sending a codebook, your florist will usually have free message cards that you can either handwrite (if you’re there in person) or have them print out and deliver along with the bouquet. You can say something like, “Sarah – This unique bouquet was handpicked for you: yellow roses for happiness, phlox for unity. You are my only sunshine, my days would be dark without you. Glad we’re together! Love, Fred” Granted, that’s a little sappy. But it doesn’t take much to translate when your flowers do most of the talking.

Nice article … Although I’d read somewhere else recently that giving flowers was “old-fashioned” in a bad way, I gave a bouquet of daisies to my new girlfriend after learning that they were her favorite flower. She seemed to like them well enough and I was pleased, but a few days later she was still talking about them, had arranged them in a vase on the middle of her mantel in her living-room, and had taken 10,000 digital photos of them. She later told me that no one had given her flowers in 15 years and was thrilled … and she is not the blushing, gushing type. Best $25 I ever spent.

A really good article. Especially the meaning of the flowers. Now I can tell her the meaning of the flowers that she loves so much.

I already know which flowers she likes and in which colors.

I always give flowers on St.Valentine’s Day and her birthday. Every now and then I give flowers for no reason.

Interesting, as always. You do not always have to give a bouquet. How about just a single flower when the mood strikes?

I am so glad this article is posted. I have told my boyfriend on a few occasions that nothing makes me feel more special then when he gets me flowers. There is just something about the added time involved to stop and pick some out for me in mind. The best time to give flowers in my opinion- on special days, but also on random days. Maybe you get out of work early enough to catch the florist shop still open- stop and get her some flowers.

On the debate of potted vs. cut flowers- I worked in a green house for several years so I understand the value of a potted plant, but every now and then its amazing to get cut flowers. And when recieving roses or other flowers that dry well-tie them together with a ribbon and hung upside-down to dry out. They will last forever this way.

I have always been a fan of flowers. I like to give them to women and I even like them in an empty bottle of Tequilla on my table, it can be very manly. In other countries were you can get flowers on the street, fresh from a flower boy or girl, the beauty of it is compounded. However, I agree with the comment that women no longer understand. They really don’t and it’s difficult to work with. I believe that giving her a ‘booklet’ is borderline unmanly and may cost the charm for then she knows that you are simply looking up code. I suggest a clever planting of the code through a friend or something. Complicated is always risky but it might be worth it for this.

This is definitely a great idea!

Only problem is I cannot find the book that was suggested.

Any other good suggestions for books?

You’re right – women often complain to men that they are not romantic enough… One good way to show them that you do care and are romantic is to know about flowers. This article is great but I found anhter great reference on the meaning of flowers – findflorists.com/meaning-of-flowers.cfm. From acacias to water willows, It gives more information on each type of flowers meaning. The perfect reference to dazzle that special woman in your life. From Baxter O’Shaughnessey
