On Valentine’s Day, many men choose to express their blossoming love through flowers. Most flowers are coded with meaning that have been passed down through the centuries. In the Victorian era, when courting was more restrictive, a fresh bouquet could do all the dirty talking for you. But what does the arrangement you got on Valentine’s Day say about your relationship? If your flowers could speak, this is what they’d say about your man…
Amaryllis: He thinks you’re beautiful inside and out.
Bird Of Paradise: You’re a one of a kind girl and he celebrates your uniqueness.
Carnations: You’re a fascinating woman!
Chrysanthemum: You’re a real pal!
Daffodil: He’s your knight in shining armor.
Freesia: He thinks of you as an innocent flower.
Gerber Daisy: You are so beautiful to him.
Hydrangea: He’s so sorry, baby.
Iris: He just wants to tell you how friggin’ fantastic you are!
Lilac: You make him feel young again!
Lily: He’s gonna give you more than you’ve ever dreamed of!
Orchid: He wants to make many, many babies together.
Peonies: Your bashful beau wants to tell you he loves you, but he’s a shy guy.
Roses: He loves you enough to pay top dollar, just to tell you so.
Queen Ann’s Lace: He wants to protect you and be your hunky haven.
Sunflower:You are the sunshine of his life.
Tulip: You’re the best lover he’s ever had, hot stuff.
Violet He doesn’t need to show off just to show you that he cares.

Ahh yes. What do flowers purchased from a deli say? I love you enough to know I should give you flowers, but I’m not gonna shell out for the good stuff?

Maybe deli flowers say “I’m a slightly confused man and knew I should bring you flowers but didn’t think to take them out of the plastic and put them in a vase”?

My boyfriend made me cupcakes that were super messy and poorly decorated, but were tasty. He called them “mancakes”. I also got three rosebuds… He’s a keeper.

I got lilys. My cat knocked them over and broke the vase. The next day I found out he’s been cheating on me with my best friend of 17 years.

I actually didn’t get anything =[ We have been together for a year and his excuse was he “had no money” so he promised that this Friday he will do something special. I didn’t even a card. I wished he would have stolen some flowers at least! lol what does stolen flowers say?

@juddha - mancakes? That’s hilarious/adorable.
For the last three years I’ve gotten a giant box of flowers from Maui floral. They are always gorgeous, but there are so many flowers and they’re all big and are ultimately such a hassle (like, 3’ long with a 1.5” diameter stem that I have to hack off with a big knife to trim) that I never even had enough things to put them in. He was finally around last year to help me with them so he found out for himself as we spent about an hour dealing with them, ultimately scrounging up 7 vases (nalgene bottles) to put them all in. This year he’s away again, so I got a plane ticket out to visit in lieu of the flowers. It’s a nice break, but now I do kind of miss the flowers.

(Former) bf gave me a 1/2-dead ponsettia plant. He left it in his car during the day and it froze. He said something like “it’s the thought that counts” What thought?!

i thought red roses means he just bought what he thought he was supposed to get; pink roses means he knows you love pink or they ran out of reds..

Do you really think a guy thinks about all this before he buys you flowers? Maybe back in the Victorian era they did, but I’m pretty sure this is just reading too much into something.
