Send flowers for the perfect gift
This oh-so-traditional gifts, but you know what your buying loved ones when you select a bunch of flowers? This may be a bit confusing blooming. Clean the floral etiquette and give the perfect petals for every occasion with our experts advice.
1. Forever yours
Hyacinths symbol loyalty and the flowers for the Taurus zodiac symbols - the famous features are being stubborn! This little display of hyacinths in contrasting shades of deep blue, soft pink and white (£ 39.50) from Marks & Spencer will make a perfect gift for a faithful companion, if a partner or to an old friend.
2. Cold heart
Hydrangea meaning 'water barrel' in Greek and refers to fruit shape only after it has sprung open. Gifts like this Autograph Collections - Rose and hydrangea bouquet (£ 45) from Marks & Spencer is to last for vases two weeks. Send hydrangeas trained as a warning, or put the brakes on a torrid afair - symbol they frigidity and heartlessness.
3. Petals of by post
'Freesias are a classic favorite flowers with a delicious scent,' says Jane Scott floral expert recommends the 25 mixed freesias by post (£ 22.50) from John Lewis. 'These are best displayed in a vase on their own instead of a display to other flowers. Simplicity is the secret here.
5. Rare beauty
'Orchids best to place a light inside the house, "advises Cohen Ros, a florist for 14 years. 'Put one or two stems with a long vase and try not to touch the petals of which are too sensitive.' Indulge in some Eastern luxury with Flowers by Post - 15 exotic orchids (£ 19.50) from Marks & Spencer.
6. Tell it to pink
'Roses are one of the unique flowers that you can give to every occasion: this declaration is love, weddings, births or Valentine's Day,' says Aurelia Capez a rose specialist Parisien, Au Nom de la Rose. Yellow rose symbol of friendship - send someone special attractive Flowers by post - 24 yellow roses (£ 25) from Marks & Spencer.
7. Lily white
'Take the stamens of the lilies so pollen does not detract, "suggests Cohen. 'The best way to get the pollen from your clothes is to dab it with sellotape. Do not skim it. 'Enjoy it Ungilded Lily (75 pounds) from Fortnum & Mason for the perfect lilies without the pollen. White lilies cost refinement - give them marks a new phase in the life of a person.
8. Just friends
The gift of lavender to a potential lover is a kind but firm rebuttal of their love. At least it Lavandula angustifolia Melissa potted lilac (£ 4.99, was £ 6.99) from the crocus will continue to grow even as their love fades. 'Lavender needs sunlight because it comes from the Mediterranean, 'says Cohen. 'It should stay in a pot and the best out.'
9. Brighten
'Color of the flowers is very important,' Capez says. 'For example red is clear - it represents love and passion, but orange means desire. Try hand tied bouquet of orange, green and red (48 pounds) from No to High Street - a beatifully presented bundle sure to lead to some steamy romance.
