Ninety-two percent of women can remember the last time they received flowers, and 97 percent of men and women recall the last time they gave a floral gift.

The fleeting nature of flowers also encourages people to appreciate flowers when they are beautiful and vibrant. “With a gift of flowers, you know that someone is thinking of you right now, this very minute,” Cole said. “It's the memory of the gift and the emotions that last forever.” What Hip Givers Said 88% say flowers can change your mood for the better 99% agree that a person who gives flowers is thoughtful 89% believe that someone who gives flowers is sophisticated 83% would like to receive flowers when they a...

Free-spirited feelings are conveyed by the Flower Therapy Whimsical palette, which is characterized by bold, contrasting colors. Flowers Featured: Professional florists call this garden-style arrangement "vegetative" for duplicating nature as flowers would grow in a garden. Fuschia stock, royal blue delphinium, yellow-orange spray roses, pink tulips, Italian ruscus and yellow-orange bell-like saraconia ring out over golden-yellow mini gerberas, lime-green pompons and hot pink mini carnations.

Serenity and relaxation are the feelings conveyed through the Flower Therapy color palette of light shades of green, misty blues and other cool hues. Flowers Featured: An airy, asymmetrical design of lavender lisianthus, lavender larkspur, light blue delphinium, light blue hydrangea, eryngium thistle, and seeded eucalyptus accented by dusty miller foliage is loosely grounded in river rocks resting in a glass cube. The water, visible through the vase, adds to the tranquil feeling.

The rich colors of the Sensuous Flower Therapy color palette create a rich, luxurious feeling that sets the mood for sophisticated and passionate settings.

Orbiting lily grass frames rich maroon ranunculus, orange spray roses, two-toned reddish-orange and coral-apricot roses, burnt orange Asiatic lilies, hypericum berries, magenta phlox and variegated pittosporum.

Through Flower Therapy, a sensation of intimacy and nostalgia is created by a color palette of delicate warm and cool colors, with lavenders and pinks at its heart.Flowers Featured: An iridescent ceramic rose-colored container holds a radial cluster of deep lavender roses, pale pink roses, champagne spray roses, grape hyacinth muscari, pale pink bouvardia, blush tulips, lavender stock and lilacs, accented by asparagus plumosa. Professional florists refer to this opulent and compact design style as "Mille Fleurs" or a thousand flowers.

A true sense of caring is created by a combination of colors that are fragile, soft and tender.
