Ten Good Reasons Why You Should Send Flowers

By Janice Anderson

Since time immemorial, flowers have been used to send messages of affection, love, joy, & even discontent. As a matter of fact, they have been used as a coded language dating back to Victorian times, called floriography. Whatever the occasion, flowers could be the most effective & nearly fool-proof way of saying something. Here are 10 reasons why you may want to send a flower arrangement to someone special to you:

1. Birthdays - A nice way of letting a birthday celebrator know that she is special is with a nice bouquet. Often, these bouquets are accompanied by fancy wrappers and balloons.

2. Graduation - Sending flowers to someone on his/her graduation is a great way to acknowledge this person's day of achievement.

3. Valentine's Day or Anniversary - The traditional "dozen red roses" couldn't be any more romantic on special days like this. Some florists even offer chocolates or teddy bears to be included in the arrangement.

4. Housewarming - A beautiful, decorative flower bouquet, or even a fruit and flower basket, will bring color and life to a new home.

5. Funeral - In the unfortunate event that a loved one passes, a funeral arrangement is a well-appreciated thoughtful motion that shows how deeply you care for that person & those he/she left behind.

6. Mother's Day - Sending an arrangement of flowers to your mom during Mother's Day is a great way of showing appreciation for all the things she has done. It is also the most common way of sending love to mothers-which makes it one of the busiest days for florists every year!

7. New Baby - Welcoming a new child is yet another good reason for celebrating life. A celebratory flower arrangement is simple, but means a lot.

8. Host or hostess gift - Attending a dinner or party is a privilege, so bringing a fresh cut bouquet of flowers (often accompanied by wine) is a great gesture & is ever appreciated.

9. Congratulations - Sending flowers and/or a gift to celebrate a loved one's achievement is sweet and usually unexpected, which makes it even more special.

10. Just because - Sometimes, sending bouquets only because you're thinking of them, is one of the best reasons of all! - 33393
