30 Days to V-Day: Green Flowers

We begin today, our 30-day mark in the countdown to Valentine's Day, with the color green.

Green flowers make a fresh, unexpected statement, whether combined in a mixed bouquet with other colors or by themselves. There's something startlingly beautiful about a green flower.

Fellow floral blogger Stephanie White with Bloom Nation says that green flowers symbolize wishes for health and fortune, as well as renewal, youth, and springtime. Teleflora adds that green flowers represent resilience and optimism.

Why not recall memories of youthfulness, or send an uplifting, life-giving message to a loved one with green flowers this year? Consider these options:

> Hydrangea (image courtesy of growersbox.com)




> Hypericum berries (image courtesy of wholeblossoms.com)




> Leucadendron (image courtesy of florabundance.com)




> Roses (image courtesy of thegreenhead.com)




Combine any of these with lush foliage and greenery, and you'll have the makings of a fresh, unique arrangement.

Note: It's best to order well in advance of the holiday rush so you can ensure that you get the flowers that will make your Valentine's Day as perfect as possible.
