With that in mind, let’s dive right into it.
Tulips
Let me tell you right here and then that you can’t go wrong with tulips. Your girlfriend will absolutely love you for these and adore you all year long. The beautiful thing about tulips is that you can get them in different colors, which means you can customize them for your person. You are spoiled for choice, with options ranging from red, yellow, purple, white, and pink. Just keep in mind the meanings of these flowers as you buy them. For example, the red tulip represents love, while the white tulip represents an apology (for those moments that you would have royally messed up). Did we also mention that tulips are the absolute best flower that you can use to celebrate a new relationship? Go right ahead and order a bouquet!
Lilac
An underrated flower, lilacs are a perfect choice if you want to impress your girlfriend. It’s said that the different shades of a lilac color mean different things, depending on the stage of the relationship that you are in. The lilac, in a light violet shade, represents the first twinge of love, whereas there is also a stronger magenta color to symbolize affectionate love. How about you surprise your lover this year by gifting her a beautiful bouquet of lilacs? Trust us, that might just solidify your relationship.
Red Roses
Perhaps the most popular flower on the face of the earth, red roses need absolutely no introduction at all. It’s not at all an exaggeration to state that red roses are the most romantic flowers that a man can gift to his lover. While roses do indeed come in many different colors, including white and pink, it is the red one that takes the cake. The dark red rose symbolizes eternal love. They signify deep, true love with a partner, hence their popularity on days like Valentine's Day. They are also quite popular choices for wedding anniversary gifts, birthday gifts, or special days such as a marriage proposal.
Orchids
Ah, orchids, the precious flower of the gods. On top of their extraordinary beauty, orchids are more delicate than any other flower. Even if the blooms fade, the plant has a resting period and can re-bloom with proper care and attention. Is there anything that can symbolize a relationship better? In addition to this, orchids represent luxury, so they carry an aura of wealth with them. This precious flower comes in several varieties and colors, each with a solid meaning. You see, almost every color of the rainbow symbolizes luck, hope, and love. Talk about beauty with meaning. The orchid is best gifted on Valentine’s Day, and when you do this, watch your partner just fall in love even deeper with you.
The Lily Stargazer
This is an unexpected entry in such an article, but trust us, it’s a great choice to gift to your wife or lover. It also has the added advantage of being a not-so-common choice, which means that your wife can boast with these flowers, knowing that she stands out.
Choose bright pink with a white mixture for those who love bright and beautiful things in their home or office. On top of all this, the lily signifies wealth and prosperity, which is a symbol you definitely want to carry into your relationship. They are perfect for Valentine's Day or birthdays.
Pastel-Colored Carnation
They say that flowers reflect people’s personalities, and if this is true, there is no flower that is as attractive to the introverted person as the pastel-colored carnation. Just like many other flowers, the carnation has various colors, with each color carrying its own meaning. White carnations signify pure love, while pink means protective, motherly love. Carnations are the flowers for January, so they are very appropriate for a birthday gift. Consider them, especially if your wife is a January baby.
Alstroemeria: Lily of the Incas
Known as the “lily of the Incas,” alstroemeria is a not-so-known flower, but it’s an amazing option to gift your lover. It also falls into the bracket of flowers we love that are unique and not so well-known, meaning that your princess or queen can feel completely unique. Also, much like most of the flowers on this list, it has different color shades, each bearing its own meaning. Go for a pinkish or reddish color for the most romantic impact, or a purple shade to show beauty and royalty. This shows the various ways that this flower can be used, both romantically and for family and friends. We assure you that a lovely bouquet of alstroemeria will make a new mark on your relationship.
