The first flower that comes to mind - especially when thinking of Valentines Day - is of course the infamous red rose. One of the great poets, Gertrude Stein immortalized the rose in her famous line "a rose a rose a rose." Or we go back to the 15th century, Alfred Noyes stated that "the Language of Roses originated in Persia. This language was particularly popular in the 19th century. They say that lovers could have entire conversations through roses. A rose symbolizes romance and all the emotions that come associated with it. When it comes to picking a rose, you can choose from reds to pinks to maroons. Other winter blooms also come in a wide variety of colors and types. You can pick up flowers like elegant lilies, amaryllis in reds and whites, tulips in reds, pinks, whites, bouvardias, exotic orchids, chrysanthemums in yellows, pinks, and reds, and hyacinths too.
