Choosing Anniversary Flowers

When we think of an anniversary flower, the first thing that comes to mind is the rose. Unless the one you love has a preference for their own special flower, the rose is traditionally the sign of love. But did you know that for each shade of the rose there is a different meaning? The red rose is given at Valentines Day to declare to someone that you have fallen in love with them and if given to friends it certainly would convey the wrong message. A purple, coral or orange rose is known as the Valentine rose. There are also many kinds of flowers for the anniversary besides the rose, each of them beautiful in their own way. For every year of an anniversary there is a flower that should be given.

 

For the first year of an anniversary in a business a pansy should be given, the second year should be Cosmos, the third year should be Fushias, the fourth year the beautiful Geranium, and the fifth year the delegate Daisy. By the tenth year you have to shop for the streamline Daffodil and the beautiful rose doesn't come into play until the fifteenth year anniversary. The 20th year brings the Day Lily, the 25th is the slender Iris and the 30th is the petite sweet pea. The 40th is the bold Nasturtium and the 50th is the Violet.

 

Regardless of the flower that should be given on an anniversary, the rose has to be the most popular. Nothing will please a woman as the declaration of your love when it is shown with roses. Of course, there are many other kind of anniversaries, so we have to then keep in mind which flowers should be given to whom. For example, if your firm is having an anniversary then you better look up a flower list. Roses would not be the flowers to send, but if you're thinking of a wedding anniversary with your loved one, then there is nothing that compares to a dozen red roses.
