For The Best Flower Deals Around Visit A Florist

By Adriana Noton


Flowers have been used through the ages by human beings to celebrate life and death. Ancient drawings show people adorned with flowers in their hair and on their bodies. Famous artists have painted masterpieces depicting women and flowers. Songs and poems extol their beauty whilst books and movies are filled with references and scenes of flowers. Even through cash strapped situations and in bad economic time flowers are still bought, given and gratefully received. Having a good florist that can help one enjoy and share the beauty of flowers at affordable prices is essential.

Nowadays a florist offers clients a wide range of services. They are inter-connected on a state, country and global network to deliver anywhere around the world within hours of receiving an order. A large majority of florists are also advertising online and have informative websites with pictures of work, prices, floral accessories, vases and flower selection on offer.

Besides selling a wide selection of fresh cut flowers numerous a florist also sell potted plants including orchids, lilies and begonias. Their floral arrangements are made up of local, imported and artificial blooms enhanced with greenery and aromatic herbs. Nothing is too big or too small for them to tackle.

Additional extras such as beaded butterflies and candles are often added to floral arrangements. A woven basket filled with flowers has been a popular choice for decades. Buying a reusable container made of glass, pottery or metal and filling it with flowers is another option. It is sometimes worthwhile to give a quality container that can be kept and used for years by the recipient.

Flowers are not just beautiful to look at. Each type has a special meaning that has been given to it centuries ago. In days gone by flowers did the talking for many a shy suitor or someone who could not convey their feelings verbally. Those dear and that not so dear were all dealt with in this flowery manner. There is a strong movement today towards selecting flowers with an appropriate meaning when sending a bouquet from the florist.

Agapanthus denotes a love letter. An Azalea says take care of you for me and is also the Chinese symbol of womanhood. Baby's Breath represents pure true love. For friendship one would choose Blue Periwinkle and yellow Zinnias for daily remembrance.

Many rose types and colors are associated with love although some like yellow roses depict jealously and black and dark crimson speak of death. Ivy is for marriage, fidelity and friendship. Daffodils speak of regard, respect, unrequited love and tell the receiver that the sun shines when they are around.

Buttercups are for cheerfulness and Apple Blossoms for good fortune and better things to come. Cyclamen is to say goodbye and pink Larkspur denotes fickleness. Chamomile is for patience and to attract wealth. Palm leaves celebrate victory and success of a venture. Poinsettia says be of good cheer in bad times and white violets declare let's take a chance.

Therefore the next time a person orders flowers from a Florist they need to be sure about the message they are sending. However although this unique form of sending unspoken messages may be a little bit of nonsense it is best to err on the side of caution when next making a selection at the florist.
