Of all the occasions to send flowers to your loved one, Valentine’s Day is perhaps the most deserving of a beautiful bouquet. Whether you’re sending fresh blooms to your long-distance loved one or hand-delivering their gift, you can rest assured your recipient will be delighted by the thought you put in this year. While you can’t go wrong with any type of flowers, here are a few of the most popular choices for the holiday of love.

5 Popular Valentine’s Day Flowers

1. Roses

If you have a loved one with classic taste and appreciation for romantic gestures, a stunning bouquet of roses is sure to please. Red roses are the iconic symbol for love, while white is well-suited for new romance, as it represents new beginnings. 

2. Irises

Irises are a fitting choice for anyone with more of a nontraditional taste. As the official birth flower for February, they symbolize faith and wisdom. Purple irises, in particular, are thought to send a message of compliments, while blue represents hope.

3. Lilies

Striking and otherworldly, lilies aren’t just for sympathy. They’re also a popular Valentine’s Day choice and are associated with devotion. Pink Asiatic lilies beautifully complement red roses and signify longstanding, deepening romance.

4. Tulips

The meaning behind tulip is flawless love, so for the partner who is perfect in your eyes, a bouquet of these bright, lively florals is an excellent choice. Although they make lovely standalone pieces, tulips can also be incorporated into arrangements with carnations and roses for greater depth and visual appeal.

5. Orchids

Any recipient who has a flair for the exotic will adore an orchid plant. Unlike most other arrangements, these tropical florals bloom one to two times a year, with delicate petals that can last for months at a time.
