When it comes to gifting congratulatory blooms to your
loved ones, friends, colleagues, consider what flowers to send or include in
your bouquet or stand. Flowers, after all, have meanings. And, what they convey
don’t always reflect their vibrant colours and delicate petals.
So, be mindful of your flower selection. Here are # blooms
that you need to keep off your congratulatory presents and grand opening flowers.
1. Anemone
A beautiful flower that blooms in
white, pink, and violet, the anemone is without a doubt a great accent to any
flowery bunch. Even so, avoid integrating it into your congratulatory gifts. The
anemone flower has mixed meanings. It conveys forsaken love and affection. At
the same time, it also conveys protection against evil intent and ill wishes.
2.
Cyclamen
Definitely not a flower you’d want
to send to someone you intend to build rapport with. Cyclamen conveys
separation or the desire to separate. So, keep it off the grand
opening flower stand from Singapore you plan to send to your new business neighbour or
partner.
3.
Yellow Carnation
Don’t be fooled by its bright color.
The yellow carnation represents disdain and rejection. Definitely not the
messages you want to convey when you’re congratulating someone.
4.
Orange Lily
Here’s another vibrant bloom that
sends a contrary message. Lilies, particularly their orange variations,
represent disdain, pride, and hatred. These are probably the most compelling
reasons why most florists
in Singapore do not include these blooms in their selections.
5.
Aconite
Given its brilliant violet hue, it’s
tempting to add aconite to your congratulatory blooms. Don’t. Aconite, also
known as monkshood and wolfsbane, conveys hatred and cautiousness. It’s also
worth noting that this particular bloom is lethal.
6.
Rhododendron
Another beautiful bloom that says
“be wary.” And, this is not without reason. The attractive rhododendron is,
after all, quite poisonous.
7.
Petunia
Do you harbor resentment or hatred
for the person you’re congratulating? No? Then, don’t include this vibrant
flower into your congratulatory bouquet or stand. Find other ways to add a
splash of striking violet to your bunch.
8. Tansy
Don’t be fooled by its friendly
looking appearance. This yellow puffball sends a message contrary to your
positive intentions: a declaration of war. So, don’t integrate it into your
congratulatory bunch, especially if your receiver is a real floriography buff.
9.
Peony
Anger is the last thing you’d expect
this sweet flower to convey. Yet, it’s exactly what it means. Talk about
deceptive. So, don’t be tempted to add peonies to your bouquets and stands.
While it’s highly unlikely that your recipient is a
flower expert, it still pays to make sure every bloom sends the right message.
It will not only make your gift more meaningful, but it’ll also make it more
precious. And, just imagine the look on your receiver’s face if it turns out
that they do know a thing or two about floriography.
Make your intentions clear. Add greater depth to your
congratulatory blooms and keep these flowers off your gifts. If you want to go
the extra mile and send bouquets and/or grand opening flower stands with rare
flowers, consult your local florist!
