FRANCIS Florist offers a variety of gift ideas and flower options at their store on the corner of Curlewis and Pye streets Swan Hill.
Flowers have long been a favourite gift idea on Mother’s Day but by choosing a particular colour, you can send mum a message at the same time.
For example, red traditionally represents love, and lends towards romantic or passionate love, but it can also be used to convey respect, desire, and courage.
Roses, tulips, geraniums, and poppies commonly come in red.
Pink flowers have also grown to be a symbol of love, though they can also mean happiness, gentleness, and femininity.
The color pink can be found in flowers such as roses, lilies, carnations, peonies, and azaleas.
The color yellow is primarily associated with spreading happiness and joy; however, it is also the ideal colour for symbolising friendship.
With their bright hue and cheery personality, yellow flowers can be used to better someone’s day and increase the positive energy in a room.
Some popular yellow flowers are sunflowers, daisies, tulips, roses, and lilies.
Orange flowers are bright and bold and are known to symbolise feelings of excitement and enthusiasm.
Some of the flowers that are available in orange include lilies, tulips, marigolds, and zinnias.
White flowers are traditionally used in bridal bouquets or during memorial services, and range in meaning from purity and innocence to sympathy.
