Sending Flowers

My son thinks that sending flowers is for those of yesteryear. In fact he always taunts my husband that sending flowers is a thing of the past and that the youth today don't NEED to do that to get a date with someone. He is truly hilarious to me. After almost twenty years of wedded bliss my darling husband still sends me the unexpected bouquet, and I must admit, it does the trick every time.

Romantic gestures are very welcome, and I don't believe there is any woman who will say otherwise. We all like to receive gifts from our partners. Sending flowers may not be very original but it's still guaranteed to make me feel warm and fuzzy. It's a generation thing too.

Men used to be embarrassed to walk into a florist shop and were accused of having done something they were feeling guilty about if they bought flowers for their lady.

Now, sending flowers is a usual occurrence and you don't have to step inside a florist anymore. Nowadays, you can order flowers online, get them from the supermarket or gas station.

They say that red roses signify love and yellow roses signify friendship. This floral code of meanings is useful to bear in mind, in order to avoid any misunderstandings! It may be a cliché to some people but frankly, I still think a dozen red roses is the most romantic gesture in the world.

There's something about that flower and that color that spells devotion. Sending flowers is a pretty safe thing to do too. Chocolates can be unwelcome to women who are trying to diet. It's best to save the extravagant bouquets until your relationship is well established. A giant bunch of flowers arriving at the office after a first date is a little overwhelming.

Husbands, who have been married a long time, need to keep on their toes. Sending flowers to their wives is a sure fire way of letting them know that they are still appreciated. It also keeps the romance alive in the midst of the mundane, daily chores of running a house.

In this age of emancipation, everything should be a question of equal opportunities and not getting trapped in stereotypical gender roles. Women sending flowers to men however, has never really caught on. It just doesn't feel right for some reason. I guess it's because of hundreds of years of conditioning about men's and women's roles. It's like women proposing, it doesn't sit comfortably.

Flowers of course aren't just there for romantic purposes. When family and friends need our support, in times of illness or grief, we turn to sending flowers as a means of letting them know that we are thinking of them. They can also cheer us up at difficult times, not because of any practical benefit, but because someone took the time to do something just for us. Flower power will never go away.

Sending flowers are perhaps the simplest yet exquisite way of expressing one's emotions. Flowers can be sent to those we love with romantic intentions, or at the times of celebrations such as birthdays, parties and functions like weddings. Sending flowers is also a good way of showing our family and friends that we care at times of hardships and difficulty. So the next time you have to pick up a token, why not buy a lovely bunch of roses!
