Flower guide

Before you gift: what each flower means, when to give it, and how to care for it.

RoseFocalThe classic way to say it. The colour changes the message.
Spray RoseFocalSmall blooms for a quieter kind of love.
CarnationFocalA usual Mother's Day pick. Pink, red, and white are not the same sentence.
LilyFocalCheck the colour first. White and pink are not the same sentence.
SunflowerFocalBright and direct, when you want admiration more than a love confession.
TulipFocalRed is close to a declaration. Yellow has two opposite readings — check before you send it.
OrchidFocalAn orchid is a calmer gift when you do not want it to read as a love confession.
GerberaFocalPure cheer, no mixed messages.
RanunculusFocalLayered petals in a full round bloom.
Eustoma / LisianthusFocalThank you — I really appreciate you.
HydrangeaFocalThe tradition includes both warm and cold readings. Don't assume the recipient hears the one you intend.
PeonyFocalA peony can feel like a formal gift. Separate colour meanings are not checked yet.
Ping-pong chrysanthemumFillerCheck colour and occasion first. Don't stop at the "wonderful friend" reading.

StaticeFillerUsually a filler. The recorded message is remembrance, not a love confession.
