Say it with flowers!



It's just one day  before V-day and if you still don't know how to express your affection to your loved one -- Say it with flowers!  Let flowers do the talking.  :)

The ancient Egyptians were the first to use flowers as symbols of love.  The symbolic use of flowers is also mentioned in Chinese writings, Greek and Roman mythology. Since then, flowers became  a symbol for love, romance and desire.  

But take note, not all flowers are symbolically romantic!  You might want to check out the top 10 romantic flowers that you  can give to your loved ones.

receiving flowers makes me feel beautiful...flattering to be given. but white or peach roses are more appreciated than red though love is expected. dunno why but red seems "baduy" already..hehe. too common probably.
