Heather Waits 09 Jan 2025
What a girl really wants for a valentine's day gift

We're just under a month away from the biggest floral holiday of the year, Valentine's Day! It's a great way to start the year, showering love and affection on our friends and family.  And, of course, our romantic partners.  

Flowers for Valentine's Day; It's a tradition widely held throughout the world but we women have been keeping a little secret all these years that I am about to reveal...

Ok, are you ready?  Here we go, in 3...2...1...

 

What a partner THINKS she wants:

red roses and champagne by the fire for valentine's day

But what a girl REALLY wants is this:

So now you know our little secret: girls want a MIX of flowers, not just roses, and not just red!  

The tradition of giving red roses for Valentine's Day can be traced all the way back to ancient Roman and Greek mythology.   In Greek mythology, the rose was connected to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Legend has it that as she wept for her lover Adonis, her tears mixed with her blood, creating red roses. Similarly, in Roman mythology, Venus, the goddess of love, is said to have created the rose as a symbol of her own love and beauty.

In Victorian times, the Language of Flowers was born, and gift-giving of a certain type and color of flower was utilized to convey a certain message.  Red roses became associated with love and affection and quickly became the go-to flower choice for Western Europeans and Americans.
