If you ask a random person on the street to name the first flower that comes to their mind, nine times out of ten they will answer with either rose or tulip. The rose can be dated back to somewhere around thirty-five million years ago and is estimated to have one hundred and fifty different species. It is believed that the traditional rose garden possibly originated in China about five thousand years ago. Roses are often used as a symbol for love. The price for a dozen nearly doubles during the month of February. Obviously, for the Valentine’s Day tradition, nothing says â€I Love You†better than a dozen long stem roses and a box of chocolates. Roses are also the number one choice when it comes to anniversaries. Another popular romantic use for roses is the time old classic of opening up the front door to find soft romantic music flowing through the air with only the light from dozens of lit candles. When you look down you see a beautiful trail of fresh rose pedals gentle spread through the house, leading you to the bedroom where your knight in shining armor awaits your arrival with a bottle of champagne and two glasses. Tulips, on the other hand, are also associated with love. However, they are usually more in demand during springtime. Tulips are not only given as bouquets they are also a popular potted plant gift as well. It is believed that each of the colors that tulips come in have a different meaning. For instance, the red tulip represents true love while white tulips signify forgiveness. You can also find tulips in purple, yellow, and then there is the variegated tulip that means beautiful eyes. Both the rose and the tulip are beautiful delicate flowers that can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Flowers are just a wonderful way to show someone that you are thinking of them.
