Valentines Day Flowers
People in ancient times had different styles of expressing their feelings. Most of the common people were poor and uneducated so they would use symbols and signs as a means of non verbal communication. Floriography was the art of writing with flowers. Note that “flori” stands for flowers “graphy” for writing. There was also a similar art in ancient Japan called Hanakatoba. They would use flowers and colors to give different messages. One of the timeless ways of saying I love you is giving red roses. People would send each other love messages using flowers. This was due in part for the lack of speedy means of transportation.
The color red symbolizes passion. This was a loud and clear symbol of romantic interest. The most obvious place to buy roses is your local florist, since they can have an extensive array of roses in their selection. If you do not have the time to pick your own roses you can always find delivery services online that can help you pick the right roses and that will deliver them. Be aware that these services have a high tendency to be more expensive especially during Valentine’s Day when prices tend to be higher due to a high demand.
One of the negative aspects of buying roses is that they are expensive and do not last for a long time. There are various solutions to prolong the life of your roses. To treat your roses, cut one inch or less off the stem. Place them in a vase and add a small portion of water and another small portion of soda-lime. Make sure to cut the stem of you roses every three days. This will ensure that the rose absorbs the most water possible.
If you are not into buying roses there are many other options. You can give the gal of your dreams a box of chocolates. Just be careful, try to find out if your lady friend is on a diet or not. Women tend to be picky about their calorie intake.
If chocolates are not of your liking or if you know that the object of your affection does not like chocolate, try giving her something else. You can never go wrong with buying her a teddy bear, a nice card that expresses your admiration towards her and a great hug.
When it comes to the matters of the heart it’s always the intention that counts.
