Saying It With Flowers
 
Giving your loved-one flowers on any occasion, especially Valentine's Day, is thoughtful. But hold on a minute - do you know that every flower symbolizes a certain emotion, not necessarily passionate love?


Apparently, in ancient Turkey, the meaning attached to a certain flower made for it to be used as a means of secret communication between lovers. The Victorians were two steps ahead - looking to send messages even through a particular arrangement of flowers in a bouquet.

So as you see - while saying it with flowers is a great idea - it is important that you pick the right one or combination that exactly symbolizes your feelings for your beloved. Let's walk you through the meanings of a few flowers that are commonly available with most florists.

But first, a word of caution, while buying flowers do ensure the leaves aren't wilting, petals don't droop, and the plant stem is firm. Ideally, choose flowers that have not been kept out in the sun, and that have a few closed buds among buds that are starting to flower. This will ensure your bouquet lasts that much longer.

Of course, if you're seeking to make a statement of permanency, it would make sense to choose a flower and ask for it as a potted plant instead of a bouquet, such as a flowering rose in a pot. Add a note that goes, 'May our love flower forever...' and you're all set to go!

Silver Rose

Another great option this Valentine Day is to gift a Silver Rose - here's one flower that will last a lifetime. These are real roses dipped in pure molten silver to preserve them. So, the single stem rose weighs and looks like a real rose (because it is one!) and costs just 1000 rupees! You could gift just one rose or a dozen if you want to be extravagant. Another great idea is to plant as many silver roses in a crystal vase as the number of months / years you have been dating / married.
