Say it with Flowers

When you feel tongue-tied and cannot write a single romantic sentence, it’s flowers that play cupid for you.

When you want to make amends with someone but cannot bring yourself to apologize, flowers say sorry for you. When you want to wish ‘good health’ to an ill relative or friend, words can never sound sincere enough. When a person you know dies and you wish to offer condolences to the person’s family, flowers become the most respectful and dignified way to say that you share their grief.

Flowers are so ubiquitous that we find them in nearly all areas of our life. One wonders whether much of our poetry and art would have developed if there were no flowers in this beautiful world of ours. One wonders, even, if the word ‘beautiful’ could have preceded the word ‘world’ in this essay, were it not for flowers.

Just as it is important to use flowers to communicate a beautiful message, choosing the right flower for the occasion is equally important. Else, you may commit a floral ‘faux pas’. Here’s a brief guide that will help you choose the appropriate flower from the seasonal blooms.
