“The red rose cries, “She is near, she is near;”
And the white rose weeps, “She is late;”
The larkspur listens, “I hear, I hear;”
And the lily whispers, “I wait.”
― Alfred Tennyson
“I gotta a feelin’ inside of me
It’s kinda strange like a stormy sea
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
I guess these things have gotta be
I gotta new rose, I got her good
Guess I knew that I always would”
— The Damned
It’s time Valentine’s- if you’ve got someone in your life that you wish to bestow with that in the words of Jay Z ” that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff” your Floriographer and her crew will be equipped with 2000+ roses and endless wonderful ideas to make your Valentine one of a kind.
ROSES
Yes it’s easy to say “bleh CLICHE!” but there is no flower in history more steeped in romance than the rose. If you’re looking to break the mold this year and step away from Red Roses I have ordered over a DOZEN colors of gorgeous long stemmed roses.
From our leading lady the orange and red dazzler High & Magic to the ghostly grey’d out pink of Quicksand there is a color that compliments your feelings perfectly. One of the things we use to make our bouquets significant and meaningful is that we are well versed in the Language of Flowers- I know what every flower on my cart means and this is especially present with the roses I choose.
I am a passionate advocate of letting your roses speak for you and why not make the extra effort to write a love letter to your Valentine in flowers.
Here’s a little crash course in “The Rose Code”
And this is just a small sampling of the stories you can tell….We can infuse your Valentine with *your* love story..or if your love story is still new or unknown we can use our dazzling design skills to start it off beautifully.
I’ll be posting more Floriography and Flora Stories all this week on our Instagram and Facebook Page– be sure to follow us ….
