Rose: The Most Traditional Of All Valentines Day Flowers

Roses were enjoyed by the long-ago civilizations of Greece, Egypt and Rome, and the different shades that roses come in symbolize different things: crimson means romance, ivory means harmony, and blush and lemon mean amity. It is said that long ago Cleopatra actually sprinkled the blooms of this flower on her lover, Mark Antony. Empress Josephine of France also loved roses, and her yard in Paris had the nicest ones on the continent.

The trend of presenting flowers to one another to show affection didn’t begin until the 19th century. Among people in the 19th century, flowers took on different meanings according to fragrance, mass and arrangement in a grouping; in fact, in the language of flowers one crimson rose did not say the same thing as a bunch of small ivory rose blooms.

A multitude of different types of roses exist today: there are untamed roses; new yard roses that may be tiny, ascending, in a brier or a thicket; or antique yard roses that may ascend up walls. Roses, which have different shades and fragrances, are most popular in crimson, blush, ivory, and lemon for Valentine’s Day. The way a rose smells – which may be different for every flower – is known to be erotic, inviting and a libido-enhancer.

Orchids: Sophisticated Flowers for Valentine’s Day

Orchids are sophisticated by nature. Between 25,000 and 30,000 different types of orchids exist all over the globe, even by the ocean and up in the peaks.
Different types of orchids have different scents, but they are usually strong, alluring and even pungent and sweet. The variety of shades of orchids include blush, lemon, crimson and lilac, and in order to thrive they need a balmy, wet environment, which is why they do well in greenhouses. Orchids are not standard blooms, but they are gorgeous and they make nice presents that symbolize love, and that makes them ideal for Valentine’s Day. X

Lily: The Best Scented Of Valentines Day Flowers

Madonna lilies, oriental lilies, and tiger lilies are a few of the varieties of lilies available. The Madonna lily has been around the longest. It originated in ancient Egypt and Greece. The Modonna lily has a rich exotic scent, that is also recognized as an aphrodisiac, making it another great option for Valentine’s Day.
