Aquarius
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Aquarians are
progressive, entertaining, and independent. Their individuality can
sometimes make them rebellious or standoffish, but it also imbues
them with unusual and exotic tastes.
Thus, their floral favorites include orchids,
birds of paradise, and gladiolus. As Aquarians are aligned with the
color blue, iris bouquets
are also a wonderful fit. And during late spring, birds of paradise,
with their vibrant hues, are the perfect thing to send to as they
can help jumpstart your Aquarian's positive energies as the exciting
summer months near.

Pisces
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Romantic,
emotional, and affectionate souls, Pisces can also be fickle and
sensitive. With the fish as their symbol, it should come as no
surprise that Pisces feel comfortable with plants that grow
naturally around water, like bamboo, in
their home or office, though their emotional sides perk up with
bright daffodils around.
Make sure your Pisces' anniversaries and Valentine's Days are
extra special, and the romantic sides of their souls will surely blossom. Classic roses are the right
choices for these special occasions.

Aries
(March 21 to April 19)
Energetic and confident,
Aries can pack quite a punch. Characterized by their physical and
mental fortitude, these rams (their symbol) can also be a bit
egocentric and impulsive.
Ferocious tiger lilies are ideal for those in this sun sign, as
are flowers from thorn-bearing trees/shrubs such as roses. If you're
looking for a birthday gift for your Aries, daises are
a sure bet as they generously reflect the contagious enthusiasm
Aries tend to generate.

Taurus
(April 20 to May 20)
Taurus—the
bull—is reliable, sensuous, and ambitious, but beware; she may have
tendencies for stubbornness and jealousy.
Tauruses love lilies for their
sensual appeal (sweet-scented and colorful). If you're looking to
make a Taurus blush, send a vibrant bouquet of Stargazer lilies,
which are just big, bold, and romantic enough to make her feel like
she's your one and only star.

Gemini
(May 21 to June 20)
Witty
and inquisitive, Gemini can also be inconsistent and cunning. Though
lively and communicative, Geminis like to have a peaceful balance in
their lives, for which calming lavender is always a perfect go-to.
Geminis also enjoy chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums have varied
meanings across the globe, but in the U.S., they're seen as
delightful and cheery.
However, roses are the best
path to any Gemini's heart. If you're buying for a Gemini, the red
version is best. And if you yourself are a Gemini, try sending a
bouquet to yourself. It may just give you the calm you
deserve.

Cancer
(June 21 to July 22) |
| Cancers, like their symbolic crabs, are hard
on the outside, soft on the inside. They're also associated with family
and domesticity, which often instills in them an emotional and nurturing
persona.
Touch your Cancer's soft sensitive side with white lilies or white
irises. If you're looking to make a real statement, a bouquet of white
roses will best fit. Or, a spa gift basket is a good choice as it
delivers the right mix of practicality and thoughtfulness, which will
surely melt your Cancer's hard exterior. |
| |
| Leo
(July 23 to Aug. 22) |
| Characterized by creativity and drama, Leos
are passionate lovers with a tendency towards stubbornness. This lion sign
is bold and beautiful, so their flowers must be, too.
Sunflowers are the
favorite, but sunset roses are a great romantic choice, too. If your Leo
has the winter blues (which, being a sun sign, she might), striking
gladiolus may be just what the doctor ordered. These stately blooms come
in an array of vibrant colors: try red if you're after romance, purple for
congratulations, and white just because. |
| |
| Virgo
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) |
| Associated with purity and service, Virgos
love to organize and plan. They're modest individuals, but they do have a
tendency towards perfectionism, which can sometimes make them seem a bit
aloof.
Striking blue flowers will warm your Virgo right up, as the blues
designed by nature are just as intriguing as she is. If you're looking for
a more subtle choice, send your Virgo a bouquet that includes asters,
which symbolize daintiness and love. And in those moments of perfectionist
fury, calm your Virgo with hydrangea—the
blue version, of course—and believe us, she will most certainly thank
you. |
| |
| Libra
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) |
| Associated with the scales of justice,
Libras thrive on balance in all aspects of their lives. They're
intelligent, pleasant, and charming, but if you rub a Libra the wrong way,
her tendency toward anger might surface.
Keep your Libra balanced with lucky bamboo, or even a bonsai tree, to
care for. Your best floral option is the tulip, which can be understated
and striking all at once. In fact, your Libra's refined tastes will
actually prefer a bouquet of red tulips to roses for Valentine's—something
to keep in mind for other gift-giving occasions, too! |

| Scorpio
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) |
| The powerful Scorpio is known for intensity
and passion. They're perceptive and focused, but beware of those
qualities' propensity to also encompass jealousy and possessiveness.
When buying for a Scorpio, bold is best, and gardenias—with
their intensely seductive fragrance—are a great match as their boldness is
matched by their sweetness. In the summer months, send your Scorpio a
bouquet of Stargazer lilies that are sure to make her smile, and balance
that with a winter gift of Sumatra lilies, whose deep red petals will make
her heart race…in a good way. |
| |
| Sagittarius
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) |
| Generous, open-hearted individuals,
Sagittarius are associated with travel and expansion. They can be
compulsive or impractical at times, but these people-lovers are always
great gift givers.
As a Sagittarius, try giving yourself a gift for a change, and send a
bouquet of carnations or
chrysanthemum to your home. If you're shopping for a Sagittarius, you have
a tough job because the gifts they give are always so right! Try purple
flowers: they're elegant and original, a true favorite for all occasions.
Lavender roses may lead to romance, whereas purple gladioli say, "Thanks
for being my friend." |
| |
| Capricorn
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) |
| With their witty sense of humor, Capricorns
are go-getters, ambitious, stable and shrewd. While you may at times find
them rigid or materialistic, they're dedicated souls who will always come
through.
A symbol of success and good cheer, the poinsettia is an ideal winter
gift for your Capricorn, but don't be surprised if her home is already
adorned with them! If you're trying to catch the attention of a Capricorn,
bigger is always better, so be sure to try bold shades like red, orange,
and blue. |
