So you’ve decided to give that special woman in your life flowers for Valentine’s Day. Maybe you don’t want to be cheesy and want some creativity instead of just buying roses. What other kinds of flowers are good? In Tucson, flowers here are a big deal, but there’s not many flower stores around or good places to get them from, so ordering on the internet is king.

Using history as a guide to look at other types of Valentines Day gifts may help you find alternatives to flowers, but believe me, flowers are number #1 in most womens’ hearts…

A curious historical fact is that in Denmark, instead of giving roses, people gift white flowers called snowdrops that have been pressed and are not fresh. Strange, huh? Like drinking warm beer in England. In the USA, roses have been the top flower for hundreds of years, especially red and pink ones – the favorites of lovers everywhere. Instead of being 100% in line with tradition, what about choosing different color roses like white or mixed colors? How about other types of flowers that are just as beautiful, like orchids, iris, tulips, lillies, etc? There’s many different flowers that make bouquets that you can find online, especially if you live in Tucson. Flowers here are dead from the sun most of the time anyway.

A great place to buy Valentine’s Day Tucson Flowers is on the internet, believe me, especially at the link below.

From all the flowers I’ve talked about, not all will come in every color. Don’t be surprised to see some strange new colors for 2009, because plant biologists have been manipulating plants for a long time. Ever see fire and ice roses or blue roses? From what I’ve been seeing, blue, yellow, and purple seem to be this year’s top flower color choices. Honestly, the best thing to do is to know your woman as best as you can. You know what colors she likes from talking to her… At least I HOPE you do. If you give her flowers, and they happen to be one or more of her favorite colors, then you’ve got a winner.

Just like trying to figure out your woman’s ring size if you’re considering proposing to her, spend 5 minutes asking her what her favorite color is, if you don’t know already. That way, the Valentine’s Day Flowers you’re going to be getting her will match what she likes and you’re more likely to be a big winner.

Now that you’ve decided to get her flowers, think about the last few details. Is she someone who likes a small arrangement, or is she big and bold and likes big beautiful flower displays that are huge? Maybe she loves a particular kind of flower, like orchids. For some women, particular flowers remind them of family, or love, or their childhood. See if your woman has any of these associations and buy what she’ll see deeply into. Remember, the more thought you put into getting her just the right flowers, the more she’ll go bananas and jump your bones when she gets them.
