As spring and summer approaches, many people enjoy receiving flowers to help brighten up a space. However some flowers are better to receive than others due to their longevity and simply how they look. Here’s a list of some of the best flowers to give someone/or to receive.
- Tulips
As a classic springtime flower, these are an iconic staple in their home country, the Netherlands. These flowers come in a wide variety of colors and can be found at multiple different locations. In a vase, these flowers can last over a week and are sure to brighten someone’s mood.
- Carnations
These flowers are oftentimes seen as original and basic, they are still very beautiful. Carnations are very easy to find at any grocery store and can last a very long time as long as they are properly cared for. If you’re looking for a flower to give to someone who was born in January, this would be a good option as a carnation is the flower for the month of January.
- Peonies
Normally these flowers can be a little more difficult to find as they don’t bloom until late spring, however these flowers sure do make a statement within a space. Peonies tend to come in different shades of pink and purple so while there is as much of a color option, they are still very beautiful. Not only are peonies beautiful but they can also open up to 3 times their original size which helps to allow them to last longer.
- Lilies
Many times these flowers are displayed around Easter because of their springtime blooming but these can be given at any time of the year. They range in a variety of colors and are sure to break up a boring arrangement of flowers. Lilies are known for representing positivity which is why they are seen often after a child is born or at weddings.
- Daffodils
As another common springtime flower, these yellow plants have the ability to brighten up a space. Daffodils are also an original flower due to their trumpet-like structure and their bright color. These represent spring time and are oftentimes a symbol of new beginnings.
- Zinnia
When looking to plant a garden in hopes to always have flowers to give, zinnias are a great option. They are very easy to grow and do not require much maintenance either. They come in a wide variety of colors which is sure to make anyone receiving them happy to see.
- Gardenia
What may look like a rose to some people is actually a very unique flower called a gardenia. Many people like to receive these because of the sweet smell they give off and depending on the species, it can be very strong as well. Unfortunately, these flowers only come in different variations of white and cream however they are great for making a classy bouquet of flowers, especially without having to use roses.
