Rose Day


Rose Day



For friends and lovers across the world, February 14 is a special date. It is universally celebrated as Valentine’s Day, the day people express their love for one another. Experts have different opinions regarding the origin of Valentine’s Day but one common theory is that it originated from a Roman, named St. Valentine. He became a martyr who refused to give up Christianity and died on February 14, 269 A.D.
But Valentine celebrations last a full week, starting with Rose Day, which falls on February 7. For centuries, couples, friends and relatives exchange roses, expressing their love and passion for one another. A rose has always been considered a symbol of everlasting togetherness. Although different colors signify different emotions, the core idea of expressing one’s feelings remains unchanged. So if you are planning to make someone feel special this year, begin with Rose Day, which is this Thursday.

While the traditional favorite has always been a red rose, people are now looking for more unique colors to add a personal touch to their expressions. Subtle variations in color have far-fetched connotations, and if you don’t know which one’s what, it is better to read on before making that hasty trip to your florist. Cardinal red denotes sublime love. Burgundy is associated with complimenting someone who is unaware of her beauty; while Fiery Red shows off your passionate feelings in the best possible way.

If you happen to be in a platonic relationship, like friendship, get Yellow Roses. They represent care and concern, signifying the happiness and joy derived from being faithful friends. Having said that, it is best not to let ambiguity spoil your beautiful relationship: refrain from gifting a yellow rose with a red tip as that symbolizes a friendship blossoming into romantic love. You may think, “Who would know the difference?” But the truth is many do!

White Roses stand for purity and innocence and hence, you can never go wrong with them at weddings or anniversaries. A Pink Rose has a lot of versatility; hence it can portray a variety of emotions. If you want to show gratitude or appreciation, stick for darker pink. Lighter pink roses convey admiration or joy. You can combine pink and white roses as a token of non-romantic affection and appreciation for the concerned person.

If you happen to be struck by Cupid, Lavender Roses can speak the unspoken for you. They symbolize love-at-first-sight and the other person’s mesmerizing beauty. Shades of Purple can also do the trick as they exude majestic or elegant beauty. It helps that purple is synonymous with royalty. If you cannot stop fantasizing about a special someone, express how you feel with Orange roses. They stand for desire, enthusiasm and your newfound fascination.

For the best quality roses, come to Floralis. We have a huge assortment of the freshest flowers, delivered right to your beloved’s doorstep. Shop online or visit our retail stores for exciting offers and make this Rose Day a truly memorable one.

One such unique flower is the Anthurium. Anthuriums originally belong to tropical America, with close to 800 species found in northern Argentina, Mexico and Uruguay. Other common names of this heart-shaped flower are Flamingo Lily, Painted Tongue and Flamingo Flower. The flower is a modified leaf which flares out from the fleshy spike where the actual flowers grow. The stem reaches to a length of about 20 inches depending on the leaf’s size: the bigger the leaf, the longer the stem. These flowers are very attractive and popular among flower growers and lovers alike. At Floralis, you will find Anthuriums in different cuts and flower arrangements.
 

Another flower in this category is the Bird of Paradise, available exclusively at Floralis, the online flower shop. It is one of the most vibrant flowers around and originates from South Africa. The name has been derived from its spectacular shape which has an uncanny resemblance to a bird’s head and beak. The flower appears similar to a colorful bird in flight. Birds of Paradise are also called Crane Flowers and they bloom between September and May. The foliage is similar to banana leaves and has long petioles. The leaves of the plant follow a strict two rank arrangement to form a thick, glossy green crown making it an ideal ornamental plant. The Birds of Paradise plants usually grow 4 feet tall.
 

Calla Lilies are popular for wedding bouquets, and you will certainly spot one according to your liking at Floralis. They signify beauty and magnificence and hence their demand in matrimonial celebrations.  A Calla Lily flower has a very unique form which is very different from other varieties and helps it stand out. It comes in various colors of pink, yellow, purple, green and orange. Callas are also referred to as Trumpet Lily, Arum Lily and Pig Lily. They belong to southern Africa and are relatively easier to grow than other exotic plants. On average, a Calla Lily grows between 1 to 3 feet high. The leaves are 1.5 inches long and rich green. They look like arrowheads, with silver or white speckles. 
 
 

Calla Lilies make excellent houseplants, ideal for flower arrangements, bouquets, borders and beds. At Floralis, our expert florists put together elegant flower arrangements using Calla Lilies so that you can cherish those special occasions for a long time.

A Season! And Colours! And Fragrances!

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.

  • John Donne

A beauty that finds expression in poetry, in music and in the coziest recesses of the mind is the beauty that is of autumn. A beauty that is celebrated by Nature in her most extravagant ways. The autumnal Nature is like a host that lays out the most exquisite, most delightful fare for Her guests and offers them the warm welcome of one who has no more pleasure than to see her guests arrive. The beauty of this season manifests itself in ways, each more charming than the other – the balmy sunsets, the inviting blue skies, the caressing breeze, and the one thing that lends Lady Autumn all her grace – the flowers!
Flowers are a delight, ever and always. Nothing like a bloom to uplift your mood, to melt your heart. And nothing like the floral palette that autumn brings to our door. It is as if Nature pampers the human heart in a warm gesture before it leads them to the threshold of the wan, unfriendly winter. The flowers sprinkle color, warmth and life on to everything in a season that keeps itself for indulging all our fancies and joys. The trees, the most prosaic of the street sides, the mundane avenues spring into life and a riot of colors that dazzle in their richness. And sometimes, they make a quiet entry at our bedside, the far corner of the living room, or the lone mantelpiece at the study – to redefine the place!
To usher autumn is to usher flowers to our world – the world that we share and the world that is our own. We do love the fine touch that flowers lend our homes. We do enjoy putting a bunch here and a cluster there to add softness to our nest. It brightens up so! But we also often pout at the briefness of the beauty. Withering flowers is as much a painful sight as fresh blooms are a delight. Yes, flowers, like all beauty, are short-lived. But yes, there are still a way or two to keep them fresh and alive for a greater time than they normally would out of their natural harbor, if we care a little more.
There are almost as many number of arrangements of flowers as there are flowers themselves. The cluster, the bunch, the bouquet, or the lone flower – the arrangement is not one to go by a rule book but by the heart. Pink and blue, red and white, lilac and yellow, crimson and orange – beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Any arrangement that suits your mood is the one that is best, at all times. But beyond that is the care you take to nurture your guests and make their stay happy. While we are at it, let us share some tips on the care of the most delicate of Nature’s pleasantries:

  • A flower loves a neat and healthy atmosphere, just like you. Do remember to clean the vase or the container in which you plan to put your blooms. A mixture of water and vinegar with salt sprinkled generously in it would help remove stains and unpleasant odor from vases.
  • Put ammonia or salt in the water in which the flowers are kept. It keeps away bacterial growth for a longer time, and helps the flowers breathe.
  • Just like you again, flowers love space and can do with some. Don’t crowd them in one vase to make it look full. There are other ways of bringing on the same effect.
  • Snip the leaves that will lie underwater in your vase. They encourage bacterial growth otherwise.
  • Put the set-up away from direct sunlight, preferably in a place which is cool and shady. Keeps your flowers fresh for a longer time without wilting.
  • Your blooms like to be nourished too. Ask your florist for floral food and according to instructions on the pack, mix it into the water.
  • Don’t let the water stink. Change it daily and refurnish the floral food.
  • In case the flowers start wilting, snip off an inch of the stems under water. Remember to do it with a sharp knife or a pair of scissors so that muscles are not torn away preventing the intake of water and food.
  • Be creative. Be innovative. Use containers other than regular vases to put your flowers in. it adds an individual touch.
  • Love your blooms. Don’t keep them there for just the beauty. Keep them because you treasure them. Do take care.

This season is incomplete without flowers. So is your home. We wish you a beautiful flowery autumn – complete with the freshness and fragrance of the choicest blossoms the season can bring. Wish you a vibrant, colorful, floral autumn.
Floral is, Floralis.
Welcome!
