Flowers might be the perfect way to say, “I love you,” but depending on the arrangement, they can say a lot more. That’s why there's no reason to wait until Valentine’s Day or a big anniversary to give your special someone a beautiful bouquet. Here, the friendly florists from Colonial Gardens in Fairfield, CT, share a few flowers to give your sweetheart instead of traditional red roses.

3 Flowers to Give Your Romantic Partner

1. White Daisies

White daisies symbolize purity, innocence, and simplicity. In Norse mythology, daisies are the sacred flower of Freya, the goddess of fertility. As such, they have come to signify motherhood and new beginnings. Therefore, a white daisy bouquet is an ideal way to celebrate a pregnancy or birth with your partner.

2. Sunflowers

Sunflowers stand for happiness, adoration, and warmth. True to their name, they can evoke a sunny disposition in virtually anyone because of their simple beauty and bright yellow petals. These are the perfect flower to give “just because.” They’re sure to bring a smile to your sweetheart’s face any day of the week and are an excellent way to remind someone you don’t need a special occasion to think of him or her.

3. Blue Salvia

Flowers from the blue salvia plant represent good health and longevity. If your partner is feeling under the weather, a striking bouquet comprised of blue salvia flowers — which are actually more purple in color — may be the pick-me-up he or she needs to fend off any ailments and make a full recovery.
