Valentine's Day 情人節

Roses are always the classic choice to give to your significant other. If you're looking for something other than roses, chrysanthemums also speak the love language. However, whatever you choose, make sure you are careful with the colors! You don't want to send the wrong message!

玫瑰一直都是送給另一半最經典的選擇。但如果你想找玫瑰以外的花，菊花也有其代表的愛情花語。但是，無論你選擇什麼類型的花卉，都要多注意顏色！畢竟你不會想傳遞錯誤的心意吧！

Weddings 婚禮

Roses and peonies are very popular wedding flower choices. As for the colors, choose whatever complements the setting of the wedding. It's also acceptable to have a variety of flowers in the bridal bouquet to match the wedding dress and the bridesmaids' dresses.

玫瑰和牡丹是在婚禮上非常受歡迎的花。至於顏色，請選擇適合婚禮主題的配色，也可以在新娘捧花中，使用各種搭配婚紗和伴娘禮服的花卉。

Birthdays 生日

Believe it or not, there is a flower that represents each month of the year. Many people don't know this so they usually opt for daisies, as they symbolize innocence and modesty, a fail-safe choice. Otherwise, here's a list of flowers that stand for more specific feelings you may want to express:

不管你信不信，一年中的每一個月都有其代表的花。許多人不知道這一點，就直接選雛菊，因為它象徵天真和謙虛，這的確是一個安全的選項。不過也可以考慮下列的鮮花，可以更具體的表達出你對對方的感受：

Winter Holidays and Christmas 寒假以及聖誕節

Poinsettias are an iconic floral representation for the winter months and especially Christmas. With red being the most popular, you can also find white, yellow, and green poinsettias. Amaryllis, narcissus, iris, and jasmine are also popular winter season bouquet choices.

Funeral and Sympathy Flowers 葬禮和慰問鮮花

Large floral arrangements are the most common for funerals and they can be sent to the funeral home in advance to serve as a tribute to the deceased. Chrysanthemums, lilies, and roses are safe choices, but be very careful with your color choices. Stick with white, blue, and green, as they represent modesty, peace and harmony, and calmness, which are more appropriate for sad times.

葬禮上最常見的花藝是大型的花飾，可以提前將其送往殯儀館，向死者致敬。菊花，百合和玫瑰是安全的選擇，但請謹慎選擇顏色。最好是白色、藍色和綠色，代表謙虛，和平，和諧與平靜，會比較適合悲傷的時刻。

Get Well Flowers 祝你康復的花朵

If you're bringing flowers to a hospital to wish someone well, make sure to stick with flowers that aren't too fragrant, as they may stimulate allergic reactions in other patients. Tulips, gladioli, and irises are common choices.

如果你要帶花去醫院祝某人康復，請務必選擇不會太香的花，因為它們很可能會引起其他患者的過敏反應。而鬱金香、劍蘭和鳶尾花是最常見的選擇。
