Flowers that say ‘I love you’ for Valentines Day

‘The language of flowers’ has existed for thousands of years but first really took off in the UK during Victorian times when flower gifts were used to confess hidden feelings to the recipient that could not be spoken aloud. Many different types of messages, from those of love and gratitude through to requests for forgiveness or expressions of grief, would be sent via a flower delivery. London saw the publication of perhaps the first every flower dictionary in 1884 by Jean Marsh and Kate Greenaway. Today, London roses or rose bouquets are typically sent as Valentines Day flowers for London and UK deliveries, but there are many other flower gifts that express sentiments of love.

Acacias, sunflowers, lilacs, hyacinths, orchids, lilies, tulips and ranunculus are just some of the other flowers meaning love, loyalty and devotion. On Valentine’s Day, flowers like roses for delivery in London UK that are the most popular can be very expensive, so you may want to consider some of these alternative ideas. It’s possible to to order flowers online for delivery the same or next day from most good websites, or else any reputable florist shop in London should have a good selection of of fresh flowers to choose from on Valentines Day.
