Giving flowers on Valentine's Day is an old tradition that goes way back to the 17th Century, according to Time Magazine. It’s even recognised as the most popular day of the year to express your love by giving someone flowers.
Flowers are a way to send non-verbal messages to someone, especially seeing as each and every flower carries a different meaning. Flowers on Valentine’s Day are linked to romantic love, fertility and the expression of secret love (aka secret admirers). However, in later years Valentine’s Day has also transformed into a day of celebration of family and friendships – we’re looking at you, Galentine’s Day.
But what flowers do you get to spoil that special someone, be it a lover, friend or family member? We’ve got you covered.
