Tips & Warnings
Some flowers have a traditional meaning: roses on Valentine's Day, daisies for cheer, carnations or lilies to offer condolences.
Men appreciate fresh plants and flowers, too.
Never send plastic flowers. If you want to go with artificial, opt for silk, beaded, glass or porcelain flowers.
Flowers say "I'm sorry" better than any other gift.
