The Meaning Behind the Plant

Corinna and Megan are gearing up for Valentine's Day.  Corinna is making bows as Megan shows off a few of our foiled and  bowed Tulip and Kalanchoe plants


Some people like to pick out a plant for their sweetheart based solely on what looks good at the time or perhaps based on a favorite color.  Some people however like to pick their plant based on a common meaning behind the plant.  If you are one of the latter, we are here to help!  If not, it's still fun to learn something new!  Let us go over just a few common meanings behind certain plants you may be giving for Valentine's Day...and yes we do have all of these!
Some of our Daffodils hanging
 out by the fountain




Daffodil-Regard, respect







We have some beautiful potted and hanging
Boston Ferns, as well as many other varieties



Fern-
Fascination, sincerity, magic








We have these gorgeous Geraniums
blooming and ready to go in the
greenhouse!





Geranium-
Comfort, folly (giving this plant as an act of apology)









Some White Heather, starting to bloom




Heather (White)-
Good luck, protection, wishes coming true








A gorgeous Hyacinth ready for
 your sweetheart!




Hyacinth-
Playful, fertility, games










Three different varieties of Ivy hanging out in our vibrantly
colored, biodegradable bamboo pots


Ivy- 
Fidelity, wedded love, friendship








Stunning maroon Orchid
thriving out in the greenhouse



Orchid-Love, beauty, luxury








A few of our Ranunculus chillin' with our stone owls



Ranunculus-
I am dazzled by you!








We have a ton of herbs, included this delicious smelling
Rosemary 


Rosemary-
Remembrance, wisdom





Some of our Tulip and Daffodil bulb gardens





Tulip- 
Fame, happy years





Well, that should give you a few ideas of the common meanings behind many plants that we have. Also, don't forget that we put your choice of colored foil and a bow on your plant free of charge.  We hope this helps on the quest to find a meaningful gift this Valentine's Day!
