Valentine’s Day is one of the most romantic days of the year and the most popular gift to give is flowers. Flowers are possibly the most romantic token of your love and affection! Your local Florist can make choosing the perfect flowers for your loved one easy . . . whether you go with traditional roses or something different! Here are the top seven most romantic flowers in our book.

1. Roses. Clichéd perhaps, but still very romantic. The colour of rose you select means different things. Red is for passion, pink is romance, and yellow for friendship. But if yellow roses are someone’s favourite flower – why not? However, growers have produced so many beautiful colours that they just couldn’t keep up with different meanings for such a large selection. So whatever catches your eye – go ahead and start your own tradition!

2. Tulips. Tulips traditionally mean “perfect love” and are really a great alternative to the rose. Tulips come in a variety of hues, so it is pretty easy to find one that comes in your lover’s favourite color, even if that’s black. This simple flower really symbolizes the perfection of your love, with its sculpted petals and beautiful cup. A simple bouquet of tulips is ideal to give to your darling this Valentine’s Day.

3. Lilies. These elegant flowers are stunning when presented alone or in a cluster and do best when not combined with any filler. They are come in several colours, including red, white and yellow and symbolize beauty . . . just right for letting your girl know how lovely you consider her to be. Lilies really do embody beauty and create a very romantic environment.

4. Carnations. Another fairly traditional flower is the carnation. They come in hues like pink, yellow, white, and red, as well as more stunning shades of purple, burgundy and green. Some carnations even have dual colours, with the outer edge of the petals in red or pink while the main flower is white. Carnations have a longer shelf life then most cut flowers and can be quite stunning.

5. Orchids. The meanings of this delicate flower are many, including seduction, love, beauty and refinement. A single orchid can be a lovely way to tell someone that you care about them and is considered to be quite romantic. Plus, it’s about as far from the traditional rose as you can get!

6. Alstroemeria. is another popular flower for Valentine’s Day. This is very similar to the lily, in fact alstroemeria is often referred to as a Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas. A delicate blossom that is often variegated or spotted, these flowers are a beautiful gift for that special person in your life.

Flowers in general are a romantic gift for Valentine’s Day, but these flowers hold more romantic connotations than others. Whether you choose to go with the traditional rose or something a little more unique, you can guarantee that your gesture won’t be misinterpreted if you give flowers.
