Valentine's Day Flowers: Do You Think Red Roses?

pink and red rose

When you think of Valentine's day flowers do you always think of red roses?

You shouldn't.

62 percent of women surveyed prefer shades of roses such as yellow, pink, peach, and white. Today there are 120 varieties of roses available and the number is growing everyday. Better yet, with new technolgies rose farms are creating roses that have larger blooms with longer and stronger stems. If they cannot create the perfect colour, growers will dye roses to produce varibant blues, sharp greens, and deep luscious purples.

Another option to giving the traditional rose bouquet for Valentine's day is to have a mixed bouquet of cut flowers made up. A variety of colours and blooms will express your message of love just as effectuvely as roses -- and it can sometimes be a little more original.

Other impressive bouqets of lilies, orchids or gerbera daisies are great bouquets to send or receive.

Want to "crank up" the passion on Valentine's day? Add an adorable teddy bear, mylar balloon, or box of chocolates to your floral bouquet.

Check out the FTD.com website (I highly recommend them!) for a complete selection of Valentine's day gifts and flowers. Remember to order your Valentine's day flowers early to avoid disappointment!
