Flower etiquette

There is an art to giving gifts, and an arrangement of freshly cut flowers can enrich any festive occasion with a dash of bright colors and a wave of good vibes, in addition to imbuing any present with that elusive something.

My interests are diverse: music, good literature, and computer technology at the user level. I like to try new things, and I bring what I started to its logical conclusion. Oh! And I do love my pets! I’m already 54 and I still believe in miracles and hobbits with elves and Gandalf. I myself am a bit of an adventuress like a hobbit, and I love mushrooms, too, like they do.

Without a doubt, flowers make the best Valentine’s Day gifts. After all, what is more, eloquent in expressing a romantic feeling than delicate, weightless, almost transparent petals of fresh flowers? Flowers can also be seen as having their own soul, being able to speak to us and carry their own energy.

But that’s the trick of the language of flowers: the external beauty of their buds does not necessarily correspond to the meaning they convey!  You need to know a few unshakable flower rules for your bouquet. And it fills the heart of a loved one with warmth.   Different occasions dictate different types of flowers, colors, and even numbers! Most importantly, the more expensive the bouquet, and the larger and brighter the wrapping paper, the more respect the gift commands — and conveys.

There are even plants that are completely inappropriate for Valentine’s Day bouquets! Let’s explore those today.
