Question!

This'll be short... so don't go anywhere.

I just want to ask you one simple question: what do you think consists of a romantic bouquet? I mean I know like roses but I want more than roses I want an array of different romantic flowers (kind of like a wedding bouquet, but not exactly; they aren't getting married).

So anyway thanks again! ^.^

THE most romantic bouquet is one that contains the recipient's favourite flowers. The flowers themselves aren't romantic: the fact that someone went to the trouble of finding out what would be most appreciated is.

I used to work in a floral warehouse. The most common thing that goes with roses is "baby's breath" (or gypsophilia -- it's those tiny little white flowers), and either leatherleaf or tiki fern. Leatherleaf looks like stiff fern fronds, great for "framing" the outside edge of the bouquet, and tiki fern is a lot thinner and wispier, and gets interspersed within the flowers. You generally don't see both tiki and leatherleaf together. There's usually only one kind of greenery in a bouquet.

Other good, popular flowers are gerbera daisies, alstromeria, iris, and lilies (one of the more popular types of lily are Stargazers; they're pretty big, though). Carnations are the poor man's rose, I've heard it said, but they're my mother-in-law's favourites.

Thank you also. I'll just look those names up on google images so I can see what they look like. I appreciate it. Thanks! ^.^
