What’s the best way for a man to make a lasting impression on a woman? Recent consumer research shows that the answer to making a memorable impact is right under his nose– through flowers. In fact, the study shows that 92% of women can remember the last time they received flowers, and 89% say receiving flowers makes them feel special.
Giving great floral gifts, however, still remains a mystery to most men. To help them out, author and TV host Rebecca Cole provides guidance on giving females flowers.
“Flowers are a sensual gift that can express any emotion so simply – with just a little knowledge and a phone call to the florist.”
Cole offers advice to guys on:
How to send just the right message to the woman in his life – a new girlfriend, that special someone, Mom or a good friend.
- The New Thing. This emotion may be the most difficult for a man to express, so Cole provides style advice for the guy who wants to show his new romantic interest exactly how he feels. “A passionate arrangement is filled with hot pinks, oranges, reds and golds. Add a thoughtful card to help communicate just the right sentiment,” says Cole.
- The Real Deal. Flowers are intimately – and internationally – linked with the art of romance, and for good reason says Cole. “As relationships grow, flowers become symbols of different events and milestones in our lives together. Take note of her favorite flowers – the varieties at your wedding, flowers you sent her when you first started dating or the ones she buys for herself. Those will have great meaning and impact.”
- Leading Ladies. “No woman – especially moms, grandmas and sisters – should live without a little TLC,” says Cole. A fabulous flowering plant or a garden-style arrangement with greens and soft pastel hues – no matter what the flower – will send the message that you care.
- The Gal Pal. “Flowers that show you’re thinking of someone, but not in a sensual way, have anatural, just-picked feeling,” says Cole. She advises to ask for a selection of garden-style flowers or a bright bold color palette that is fun and whimsical. A basket with a mix of flowering and green plants delivered to her door or office is also a sure fire winner.
What are the three top design styles that men can ask for with confidence:
Research shows that 96% of women like to receive flowers when they’re not expecting them. “Guys should know that they don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers,” Cole says. “Make an occasion by sending flowers to the woman in your life, just because. They’ll never forget it.”
Cole offers advice for men willing to try something trendy. She suggests these three top design styles that men can ask for with confidence:
- Monobotanic. Arrangements featuring only one type of flower (such as all roses, tulips, lilies or iris) are in style and may even include different colors of the same flower in the vase or container.
- Monochromatic. Pick a color, any color and stick with it! If her favorite color is pink, for example, ask your florist for a fresh bouquet of different flowers in the same color range.
- Bunches of Texture. Ask your florist to select complementary flowers of various textures to place in bunches in an elegant glass container. This unique look has a bold, contemporary feel and will surely provide the “wow” factor.
- Need to find a florist? Check Online florist in your area or just search on internet.
- Don’t know what to say on the card? Check for Creative quotes messages for every occasion.
A Guy’s Checklist of Things to Remember
- Be Spontaneous. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. In fact, most women say “no reason” is the best reason to get flowers.
- Size Doesn’t Matter. Trust your florist to help you send an arrangement that is appropriate for the occasion. bouquets both big and small can make a bold statement. It’s the sentiment that makes the impact.
- Score Big Points. Surprise her by sending a bouquet to her office, and see how much attention you’ll get because of the attention she got.
- Relax. Flowers don’t have to mean commitment. Women know when an arrangement simply means that you care.
“The most important thing to remember is that you simply cannot go wrong with flowers,” said Cole. “Your florist is there to help, but you’ll get all the credit.”

Why is "on I Love New York citrus always something with him?
I have seen in many scenes drink orange juice. It also is sucking a lemon when he was delivering flowers. Whats up with that?

Mapplethorpe The Complete Flowers
$150
Mapplethorpe The Complete Flowers Robert Mapplethorpe 256 pp., Hardcover 53 color and 227 duotone photograhs Text in English, German and French ISBN: 978-3-8327-9168-1 Format: 15 1/4 x 11 1/4 in. Flower are one of the most common subjects for artwork, yet Mapplethorpe excels at bringing something radically new to his flower photographs. Setting them in a universe apart, their poses are classical, reduced to a series of essential forms. Their compositions are profoundly simple but mask a complex dynamic. Each one is evocative, and almost always sexually charged. When photographed by Mapplethorpe, these delicate organisms become almost muscular in their raw power. Robert Mapplethorpe was born in 1946 and was raised in Long Island, New York. He received a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. By the early 1980s, he challenged the definition of photography with new techniques and formats. Mapplethorpe continued to create powerful images until his death from AIDS in 1989. * Often marveled at, but never equaled, Mapplethorpe's flower photographs are sublimely beautiful * These images represent some of Mapplethorpe's - and photography's - finest moments * Design by Dimitri Levas Ships in 2-3 business days.

The many meanings of pink roses are as beautiful as the rose itself. The pink rose has been the longest existing rose known to us – it has been cultivated for many years for it’s varying shades from the deepest crimsons to the palest pinks. As the pink rose was widely abundant in earlier times, it came to grow many different meanings. The color pink carries a connotation of grace, youthfulness, warmth, beauty, sweetness and admiration. The different types of pink roses are generally looked upon as a flower of sweet emotions and sentiments.
Even before the red rose, the pink rose became a long standing symbol for love. With the red rose taking over more of a deep, romantic love feeling, the pink rose began to take on a connotation of family love and friendship. Because of the softness of the color pink, a dozen pink roses are popular for using in flower bouquets for conveying feelings of thanks, condolence and congratulations. Darker hues of pink suggest meanings of gratitude and appreciation, whereas softer shades symbolize admiration and sympathy. These different types of pink roses are appropriate for special occasions such as funerals, graduations and “just because” or thank you. Overall, the pink rose is a time-honored way to send a bundle of emotions!
Pink roses are also widely seen in bridal wedding bouquets and arrangements. The delicate beauty of pink roses represent devotion, love and warmth and have amore dainty feel than the intensity of red roses. The very whimsical, spring time feel of pale pink roses can add a magical atmosphere at any wedding. Since pink roses are pleasing to all our sense, giving pink roses as a gift is a thoughtful and considerate way of showing someone you are thinking about them. Today, a dozen pink roses hold their place as a flower of elegance and refinement, as well as a means of communicating thanks and admiration. The beautiful fragrance that pink roses emit are enough to make anyone smile! Pink roses can also be a subtle reminder of unfound love and a gentle beginning to pristine friendships.

underwater floral arrangements?
I know that orchids and pink tulips are capable of being underwater and not fall to pieces, but I wondered what other flowers were able to be used in underwater environments. I was really hoping such as daffodils or something like a very cheerful flower. It's for my wedding will air free. Try searching for flowers to see, but found nothing.
Any flower with a petal should hold substantial fine for a day underwater. You could buy a couple of daffodils (or find in your garden) and just try.
