 1. Red Roses: Eternal Passion

It's no surprise that red roses often top the list of the most romantic flowers for Valentine's Day. These iconic red blooms have stood as an enduring symbol of love and passion for centuries. Roses have been associated with romance dating back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology, where they were linked to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The deep red hue of the roses is said to symbolize the blood of Adonis, creating a timeless connection between red roses and everlasting love. Now, red roses symbolize deep emotions, and the intoxicating fragrance reflects the sweetness and beauty of love. At The Hidden Garden, we offer a dazzling assortment of red rose arrangements sans Greek Tragedy, perfect for ensuring your message of love is conveyed with elegance.

 2. Sweet Peas: Gratuitous Friendship 

In the world of floriography, the Sweet Pea flower carries deep symbolism and historical significance. Sweet Peas represent blissful pleasure, delicate and fragile beauty, and dedicated friendship. These delicate and fragrant flowers originated in the Mediterranean region and were introduced to England in the 17th century. During the Victorian era, they became a prominent flower in the language of flowers, symbolizing the transient nature of beauty and the importance of cherishing life's fleeting moments. Today, Sweet Peas continue to enchant us with their beauty and hold a special place in gardens and bouquets as a reminder to appreciate the simple joys and cultivate deep and loyal friendships. Celebrate your delicate love in one of our expertly created bespoke arrangements for your Valentine's Day.

 3. Tulips: Continual Love

Tulips have a fascinating history of romanticism and intrigue. Originating from Turkey in many colors, tulips were introduced to Europe in the 16th century and quickly gained popularity. The Victorians associated tulips with perfect love, and during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, tulips became a symbol of luxury and status. Today, red tulips are known to represent true love and are often exchanged as romantic gestures during Valentine's Day, especially as tulips are known to continue to grow after being cut. Surprise a loved one with a bouquet of carefully selected tulips from The Hidden Garden, creating a vibrant expression of your undying love.

4. Orchids: Alluring Elegance 

Orchids have long been admired for their exotic beauty and allure. In ancient Greece, orchids were associated with fertility, and in ancient China, they were considered symbols of refinement and innocence. During the Victorian era, orchids were seen as symbols of luxury and passion, making them a perfect choice for expressing deep love. Today, orchids continue to exude elegance and sophistication with their unique shape and vibrant colors. This year, the Hidden Garden’s skilled florists are expertly working with both Vanda Orchids and Cymbidium orchids, combining them with complementary blooms to design luxurious and enchanting Valentine’s Day arrangements. 

 5. Lilies: Embracing Devotion 

Lilies have a history intertwined with notions of purity and devotion in various cultures. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, they associated lilies with the goddesses Hera and Venus, representing beauty and love. In Christianity, the lily is associated with the Virgin Mary and symbolizes holiness and motherhood. Lilies, with their graceful trumpet-shaped blossoms and pristine white petals, have become popular for expressing sincere and everlasting love. This historical significance enhances the lily's role as an ideal addition to any floral arrangement, expressing sincerity and eternal love.
