Their flowers all have a symbolism… And even a language for some. Each of them evokes a feeling, an intention, an occasion… The key is not to make any mistakes by offering the right bouquet. To avoid any faux pas, here is a selection of flowers to offer to your significant other for Valentine’s Day.
The red rose, the essential

Considered the flower of love par excellence, the red rose is ideal for showing your ardent and intense love. Depending on the number of flowers offered, the meanings vary. Generally, one constitutes a bouquet of 12 roses, this figure symbolizing the commitment over the twelve months of the year. But you are completely free to offer more or less.
You can also offer white roses, which express the sincerity of feelings, or pink roses, symbols of seduction and tenderness.
And if you want to innovate while offering red roses, you can offer gifts made from roses such as a teddy bear all in roses or an eternal rose under a bell.

Yellow flowers have a bad reputation in love: they are often associated with betrayal and infidelity. So if you have something to be forgiven, offer mimosas, associated with devotion and reconciliation.
