Valentine's Day Flowers to Send

Roses are red, violets are blue … and picking the perfect Valentine’s Day flower is so hard to do! Actually, it only feels like it is. When you’re looking for a truly original bouquet for your Valentine, it may seem like there are way too many options out there. But knowing what each type of flower symbolizes helps you choose the one that best represents your never-ending devotion. Not a flower expert? Not a problem! Here’s our guide to five popular Valentine’s Day flowers and their meanings so you can find the best way to say, “You make my heart bloom with passion!”

• Valentines Roses - This one is a no-brainer. Roses can be found everywhere on Valentine’s Day, and for good reason. These radiant red flowers have been the ultimate symbol of romance and beauty since the ancient Greeks dedicated the flower to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Their petals practically ooze passion, and their long, slender stems give them an air of elegance and grace. Roses show your loved one that they are a true classic, so opt for these buds if your Valentine is a traditional diehard romantic.
• Tulips – Running a close second in the race for most popular Valentine’s Day flowers, this beautiful red bulb is known all over the globe as the symbol of perfect love. It gets its starry-eyed reputation from a Turkish legend in which a prince, after finding out that the love of his life was killed, took his own life. The flower was said to spring from his drops of blood, and its dark center is the proof of his flaming passion. Other tulip color meanings: cream-colored tulips signify everlasting love; white, newness; pink, compassion and affection; orange, energy and desire. So if your sweetie brings nothing but fresh, colorful excitement to your world, give them a rainbow-like bundle of tulips to show them that your love will never grow old or stale.
• Orchids - Exotic. That is the one word that perfectly sums up the orchid and anyone who receives it. The flower’s rare, striking beauty is like no other and radiates a feeling of strength and power that has been revered since the time of the Ancient Greeks. In the 1800s, the orchid also became known as the flower of luxury and sophistication. Love someone who’s chic, stylish and simply fabulous? Surprise them with an orchid that’s just as captivating as they are.
• Daisies & Gerbera Daisies - The name “daisy” comes from the English translation, daes eage, or "day's eye", and meaning innocence and joy–making them a perfect symbol of love, family and friendship!
• Sunflowers - Share the happiness of sunflowers with our unique sunflower bouquets fresh from our floral farms. Their bright yellow petals are sunshine in flower form and will bring a smile to that special someone’s face this Valentine’s Day.
• Carnations - These fragrant little blossoms are the sweetest expression of pure love. The white variety is the symbol of good luck and innocence, and red carnations embody fascination, individuality and affection, making them the ideal gift for the adorable, one-of-a-kind darling who’s stolen your heart and run away with it. Pink carnations express gratitude, perfect for all the Galentine’s in your life! Send a little of both with our delightful carnation bouquets.
• Daffodils - Reminiscent of beautiful spring days, our bright yellow daffodils deliver pure delight every time.
• Peruvian Lilies (aka Alstroemeria) - Symbolizing devotion and friendship, Peruvian lily bouquets make an impressive statement of pure elegance and are a thoughtful, romantic gift on Valentine’s Day.
• Hydrangeas - The hydrangea is symbolic of love and understanding making it the perfect gift to share on Valentine’s Day. These beautiful purple and blue blooms will bring light into the recipients home for many days.
• Lilies - Its enchanting star shape is what made the lily famous as the flower of heavenly innocence and pure goodness. What better flower to give to the person who stands by you and guides you through the difficult times, just as the stars once guided sailors on their voyages?
• Gardenias - The sweet fragrance of our blooming gardenia will set the perfect, peaceful mood for you and your loved one this Valentine’s Day. Skip the roses and go for a unique gardenia bouquet.
• Mums - Chrysanthemums (mums for short) symbolize friendship, happiness, and well-being. Wish your loved ones all of that more with a bouquet of mums delivered right to their door.
• Violets - Send delicate, purple violets to your loved one this year. A symbolism of modesty, violets are a great Valentine’s Day gift if roses aren’t quite right.

Beat the Valentine's Rush By Ordering Your Flowers Ahead Of Time

We know that every year you SAY you’re going to plan Valentine’s Day early (or maybe you’re a really honest person), but it rarely ever happens. So this year, make it your New Years resolution to get your gifting out of the way and you can get back to the game! Who wants to spend football Sunday worrying about which flowers to buy, anyway? If you need a little extra motivation, here are some reasons you should order your Valentine’s Day flowers and gifts ASAP:

1. Get The Best Deals: Just like Black Friday has the best deals for Christmas a few weeks in advance, you can also find the best deals on Valentine’s Day flowers & gifts if you plan ahead. Check out 1800 Flowers promo codes & coupons for ordering early this Valentine’s Day!
2. Keep Your Options Open: Shopping early also means having the largest selection of items before things sell out. So especially if you’re looking for a more unique gift, make sure you order early! In addition, some gifts take longer than others to ship (I.e. personalized Valentine’s Day gifts, like a personalized teddy bear with their name on it) so getting your order in early will ensure that it arrives in time. Schedule the flowers to be delivered early – before the holiday. This will give the flowers time to really bloom (especially flowers that arrive in bud form), become more fragrant, and significant others will be able to enjoy them at the peak of freshness on the actual holiday.
3. Get Back to the Game: Don’t be that guy who remembers Valentine’s Day during the big game and rushes to buy a gift the weekend before. Order your flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals, and all those goodies that your S.O. will swoon over, and then relax knowing that it’s all out of the way. As an added bonus, you can even brag to your friends about how you’re all finished shopping while they’re still stressing!
4. No More Rushing: While same day Valentine’s Day flower delivery is always an option, ordering early gives you time to find the perfect gift and gives you more time to plan & enjoy your day or night together. We know that there are a lot of decisions to be made from what type of flower to get to which type of chocolates she likes, so give yourself lots of time to subtly find answers to those questions (because bonus points if you don’t ask flat-out).
