A flower is a beautiful, delicate thing and a great symbol of any relationship. It’s no surprise that sending romantic flowers to love interests is so popular. Red roses are commonplace and remain a classic, but there are other varieties out there that you might want to consider. Ideally you’ll send a flower that has special meaning to you and your love. Perhaps you were touring in a botanical garden and sat and had lunch near some daisies or you rented a movie once called Wild Orchid that led to a memorable night. Mind you, you don't need a scenario like this to make sending flowers possible. Take a look at some of the choices below as they all make great flowers to send for love!

Roses top the list of any romantic flower you could send. Red is common but there are a number of others you should consider to help your gift stand out from the bouquets that have come before. A tiny lavender rose is a little off-key and could fit the bill. They are commonly called a Sterling Silver rose. A light pink rose is known as a Delores while a bright pink is Jacaranda. Madame Delbard could be your third grade teacher, or a soft velvety red rose. A small red rose was named after First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy while a peach rose is known as a Darling. And those white roses with the dark pink edges are known as Candia, but not recommended for eating! There are other colors and types of roses, but those are some of the more interesting versions. Dressing up your usual rose delivery is a sure way to leave a lasting impression when sending flowers of love!

"Flowers are a common symbol for love and the life of your relationship. It takes time to grow and bloom. When it does, it takes careful attention to keep it alive."

Lilies are another great flower to send to someone special. A lily with thick stalks and long, white flowers is called a Cala. Day Lilies come in a number of colors such as orange, red, yellow and crème. A Rubrim has star flowers and can be found in a number of different colors. If you prefer something a little smaller than most lilies, the Zephyr Lily can be found in shades of pink, yellow and white. And finally, a lily with small blooms that appear to be little bells is known as Lily of the Valley. Lilies make a great addition to any order meant to impress!

Sending a flower such as an orchid certainly packs a romantic punch. Again, there are many types to choose from. Japhets are large orchids with curly edges and often come with yellow throats. A miniature orchid that comes in sprays is known as a Dendrobium. The largest orchids are the Catlaya, which are generally white with pink or lavender in the center of the petals. The Phalaenopsis have round edges and are white with red throats. With all the beautiful varieties to choose from, it can be easy to see how sending flowers to your date might be just the kick your relationship needs!

Lilies, roses and orchids are great romantic gift ideas, but there are many others out there that can also fit the bill. A daisy is a simple statement for love. They come in white or yellow and have a yellow center. A gardenia is a white flower with dark green leaves. Lilacs are great flowers to send someone. They have stalks with many white or lavender flowers. In high school, carnation day meant love. You could buy a flower and send it to someone else through in-school delivery. They come in many different colors and are available all year round. Plus, they're inexpensive, in case your bank is a little on the empty side! And a forget-me-not is a little blue flower with a yellow or white center – also a good choice when you have something to say!

Whichever you choose, you’re bound to leave a lasting impression. Flowers are a common symbol for love and the life of your relationship. It takes time to grow and bloom. When it does, it takes careful attention to keep it alive. Hopefully, by sending a special bouquet, your love will last the ages!
