Flowers have been used to send messages of love, affection, joy, and even discontent. In fact, a coded language of flowers, called floriography, can be traced back to the Victorian era. For any occasion, flowers could be the most effective and nearly fool-proof way of saying what you feel. Here are Ten reasons why you may want to send a flower arrangement to someone special to you:

1. Birthdays – A nice bouquet is a nice way of letting a birthday celebrator know that she is special. Oftentimes, these bouquets are accompanied by fancy wrappers and balloons.

2. Graduation – Sending flowers for someones graduation is a great way to recognize this persons day of achievement.

3. Valentines Day or Anniversary – The traditional dozen red roses could not be any more romantic on special days like this. Some florists even offer chocolates or teddy bears to be included in the arrangement.

4. Housewarming – A decorative and beautiful flower arrangement, or even a flowerand fruit basket, will bring color and life to a new home.

5. Funeral – In the rather unfortunate event that a family member passes, a funeral arrangement is a well-appreciated thoughtful motion that can show how deeply you care for that person and those he or she has left behind.

6. Mothers Day – During Mothers Day, sending an arrangement of flowers to your mom is a great way of showing appreciation for all the things she has done. This day is one of the busiest days for florists every year, because it is also the most common way of sending love to mothers

7. New Baby – The birth of a new child is yet another good reason for celebrating life. A celebratory flower bouquet is simple, but shows a lot.

8. Host or hostess gift – Attending a dinner or party is a privilege, so bringing a fresh cut bouquet of flowers and even wine is a great gesture and is ever appreciated.

9. Congratulations – Sending a gift or flowers to acknowledge a family members accomplishment is usually unexpected and very sweet, which makes it so special.
