One of the biggest concerns that a woman has when choosing flowers to give to a man is how he would react. Men love flowers! Recent surveys have revealed that over 60% of men would like to receive flowers on Valentines Day. This is hardly surprising when you think about the reason behind this occurrence - men like to receive flowers for the same reason that they send them…to be recognised.

All of us like to feel special, however, it requires a bit more tact when you send flowers to a man. That is why in selecting our range of "Flowers for Men", we have stuck to vivid tones such as orange, red, purple, bright yellow and gold, rather than pastels or traditional "feminine" designs. Men respond best to bright, powerful colours. We have also found that it is best to send contemporary or exotic arrangements. Linear or natural styles are better received than "fluffy" ones.

When choosing the right time to send him flowers, think about the occasions on which he sends you flowers. If he sends you flowers for your birthday or your anniversary, maybe those would be good times to send flowers to him. And don’t forget about Valentines Day, a promotion, or as a host gift at one of his parties.

Florists have known for decades that men love flowers, and today there is an increasing trend of men buying flowers for their own homes and offices. They too like a bright arrangement on their desk or fragrant flowers in their foyer.
