What flowers should you send to a woman ? I am aware that different flowers mean different things.

If its a new relationship say 6 weeks ?

If its progressed alot and the love angle is kicking in ?

If you are nuts about each other and want to live happily ever after?

No guy has EVER given me flowers.

Find out what her favourite flowers are, and then buy some.

I'm talking about in general...!

I didn't say ask her, I said find out. Ask a friend or something.

Hi Paul.... take a look on the interflora site... they have smashing little bouquets for every occasion.... and at a reasonable price... also they have lots of little "nice touch" options as well, such as chocolates, cuddly gifts and even champers...not that i am sure you will want to go the extream just now! but its still worth a look! Smile

First where did your pic go, umm. Second are u finally sending the rose petals, lol. kidding hun.
it really depends on what that person likes, myself if i guy sent me a bouquet of lavendar carnations i would know that he cares enough to know that i like that color and carnations are my fav plus they last the longest. Yellow roses are always a sign of friendship, or if your not sure mix them up with lots of babys breath. luv ya take care

That's enough to scare most of us off. So many meanings in a flower.

Back home I would always send natives, more of a green option. Over here I would look more for colour.

Have had more success by sending chocolates. Just make sure you sign the card. An anonymous gift is more likely to agravate.
