Flower Deliveries Say More Than Just I Love You

Did you know that the red rose isn’t the only flower that symbolizes love? Or that chrysanthemums represent wealth and prosperity? The meanings behind sending certain flowers as gifts are varied and deeply rooted in history. To help you match your feelings to the flower, we’ve researched the messages sent by some of the most popular flowers. Once you’ve decided what you want to say, 1800flowers.com can arrange flower deliveries for whatever is on your mind.

Aster – This star-shaped flower provides another way to say, “I love you.” It’s also the birthday flower for September, allowing you to combine messages when you deliver flowers to someone born in this month.

Daffodil – This flower says that the giver loves the receiver, but knows the love remains unrequited. In other words, flower deliveries of daisies equal sad.

Bird of Paradise – Named such because it resembles the winged creature of the same name, this flower represents joyfulness and anticipation. This is one of the best online flowers to order after a great first date, before the second.

Heather – Send lavender to someone you admire and white when you want the receiver’s wishes to come true.

Wisteria – This purple flower works well as a welcome gift. Flower deliveries to new neighbors establish a friendly atmosphere.
