Say Thank You with Flowers, Plants, or Special Expressions of Gratitude

One of the best ways we can show our gratitude and appreciation of others is with two small words: thank you. These small words hold a lot of meaning, especially since it seems like they are becoming rare. Keep the tradition of gratitude alive by always taking the time to thank someone whether it is a loved one, a colleague, a client or even someone who you just meant but helped you with something. All of our San Diego flower shops hold great ways to express this gratitude. Here are some ideas to get you started: Del Mar Sunflowers is a combination of bright ways to say thanks, including sunflowers, ocean blue delphinium, alstromeria and more. Garden Beauty has many flower varieties that all send your gratitude, such as hydrangea, roses and spray roses, lavender and orchids. Sweet San Diego has stunning blooms like pink Oriental lilies, tulips, larkspur and gerberas as well as lavender, red roses, white hydrangea, hot pink ranuculus, purple Monte Casino asters and stock all in a clear glass hurricane vase. Purple Pride has cream roses combined with purple lisianthus and monte casino asters in a glass vase. Great Gerberas celebrates this special flower by offering it in numerous colors, including hot pink, red, and orange along with yellow seeded eucalyptus in an inspiration vase.

Determining Which Flowers are Appropriate for Certain Occasions

While flowers are always a matter of personal preference in terms of variety and color, there are some good guides that can help you if you are not sure if a particular flower might be better for certain occasions. Here is a guide plus some examples from our floral design collection available through our online flower shop and all of our San Diego florist locations. Anniversary Focus on colors like pink and red, which represent love and passion. It’s best to stay away from yellow as it represents friendship. Of course, if your love happens to like yellow, then it is okay. Flower choices can include roses, iris, and lilies. Lavish Love featureTop of Forms red roses and spray roses along with pink Asiatic lilies in a stylish glass vase. Birthday This is the time for fun, festive colors that are bright. You can pick the birth flower for the recipient’s birthday month, such as larkspur for July and gladiolus for August or just simply get what you know your loved one enjoys. Happy Birthday Tulips and Balloons features a bright display of tulips in many hues along with a 'Happy Birthday' Mylar balloon. Funeral and Sympathy For funerals, blue, white, and green represent calmness and peach while orange and red is a way to celebrate life. Some flower choices include chrysanthemums, lilies, and roses. For sympathy, lilies, daisies, and roses are nice. However, if the sympathy flowers or funeral flowers are for a Jewish recipient, it is best not to give flowers because these are deemed inappropriate. Loving Lilies and Roses is a beautiful way to send your love and best wishes. It includes crème roses, white Oriental lilies, carnations, eucalyptus and more hand arranged in a container.
