Still think a flower is a flower? Far from it. Each flower has its own unique meaning. And with Valentine's Day coming up, it might be right to bring a flower this year that will have real meaning. Are the tulips coming this year?
What they mean the most popular flowers, which are most often given for Valentine's?
A rose
It's no surprise that it's the most popular choice for Valentine's Day. Maybe because the red rose symbolizes love, romance, beauty and perfection.
But what does the color of roses mean, take a look here.
Gerbera
Gerbera is a type of daisies, and these are known to symbolize beauty, innocence and purity. Known for its larger flower, the gerbera comes in a variety of vibrant colors, meaning this flower also represents joy.
Tulips
Tulips represent perfect love. These elegant flowers are one of the most popular flowers in the world and are most often associated with the Netherlands, where they first bloomed in the 17th century.
Chilean lily
The Chilean lily is also known as the Peruvian lily, and its long-lived and inviting flowers represent friendship and devotion.
Lily Casa Blanca
White oriental lilies usually mean beauty, elegance and style. The man who creates a bouquet of these dramatic and expensive flowers is sophisticated and knows his partner very well.
Orchids
Orchid flowers symbolize love, beauty, luxury and power, but hint at exotic seduction. So if someone gives you an orchid, it's probably a slightly wilder person than you thought.

Sunflower

Iris
In some parts of the world, dark blue or purple irises are represented royalty. Regardless of their color, they symbolize faith and hope. Add red tulips and daisies to them for a really striking combination.
