This is a story that demonstrates the significance of giving flowers to someone you love on Valentine's Day:

"Why is it that women never send flowers to men? Most men have never received flowers from a woman, and it is not something that is common or widely accepted in our society. A few years ago, I decided that I would stray from the norm and buy my husband flowers as part of a romantic Valentine's Day celebration that I had planned. His plan for the evening was of course, a romantic dinner. My plan on the other hand included something out of the ordinary and unexpected, yet still romantic. I knew that sending him flowers would undoubtedly let him know that our relationship was spontaneous and pleasurable.

There was a major snowstorm that left a foot of snow at our house that night. He was extremely sick with a stomach virus. So much for his romantic dinner plans. I had planned a romantic treasure hunt that would end in a passionate kiss. So much for that plan. The only part of Valentine's Day that we were able to celebrate that night was the flowers that I had sent him."

People can send flowers for many different reasons, and out of many different motives. Many people give flowers to others as tokens of their friendship, appreciation, or sympathy. Others will send flowers as celebrations of a special event or a milestone, such as a job promotion or a musical performance.

You can send spring flowers this season for birthdays, Mother's Day, or any other festive occasion. Another choice would be to select the recipient's favorite kind of flower and send a bouquet of those to their doorstep. Special flowers for spring might also be blossoms of the recipient's favorite color or aroma. Daisies, crocuses, cherry blossoms, and tulips are popular spring blooms.

Those wishing to send flowers can do it in a variety of ways. Flowers can be purchased online or over the telephone using a credit card. They can be purchased at a florist, and delivered by the florist or by the one purchasing them. Any of these are commonly accepted as appropriate ways to send flowers.

And yes, some people still send flowers for more sentimental reasons. In Victorian times, each bloom had a meaning, and some flowers had several meanings. For example, azaleas indicated abundance, while irises were the symbols of inspiration. Not all flowers had positive meanings, however. For instance, offering lavender indicated distrust, while a striped carnation meant rejection.

So it is probably a good thing to ask a few questions or do a bit of research before sending flowers to send a message to a loved one or mark a special occasion. Those flowers you send will speak to people in ways you may not even be aware of.
