Tulips are available in many different colors and also sizes. Their stems are unique in the fact that they can be bent and shaped in many ways, this gives florists many more artistic options.
2. Calla
The Calla lily is actually not a lily at all! It’s real name is Zantedeschia aethiopica; as you can see, Calla lily is a whole lot easier to say. These lovely flutes are a growing favorite among flower-lovers and brides. They also look fabulous in arrangements, especially for Valentine’s Day!
Callas come in a large variety of colors, including some beautiful purples and deep burgundies.
1. Lily
The (real) lily is a classic favorite! It’s size can double that of roses, and they come in such beautiful colors — it’s just impossible not to love this flower. Send bright red lilies or go for something different and use white or one of the many shades of pink available.
You just can’t go wrong when sending lilies on Valentines Day.
