Flowers - The Language of Love
on Valentine's Day
Whether
they're the real thing, or made of craft paper,
or chocolate .... flowers say so much this time of year.
 If
there is ever a day flowers come to mind, it's on Valentine's
Day.
Although
roses are usually the first choice for couples, this beautiful
flower can be given to friends as well, depending on the rose's
color.
Carnations
- with their clove scent and lush petals - have maintained their
popularity for more than 2,000 years. The iris is also at the
top of any list, along with tulips, daisies, and daffodils. The
beautiful lily also makes a lasting impression with its large
and graceful blossom. With so many choices, maybe a little of
everything in a bouquet is a good idea!
Is your special someone allergic to the real thing? No worries...flowers
can still be part of the day! Crafts, candies, cards, and even
candles can all be in the shape of flowers. Maybe its special
fragrance is what your special someone likes. Candles, perfumes
and potpourri are great ideas!
If crafting isn't really your thing, and you need something simple
to make try tulips
made out of an egg carton or egg shells. If done just so, colored
tissue paper scrunched together makes a beautiful rose! Created
an origami Kawasaki
Rose if you want a more advanced project.
Making
candles is fun, too. You can decorate a plain white candle
with dried flowers or add them to the wax while it is cooling.
If you want a scented candle, add crushed scented flower pieces
into the melted wax and then when it is burned the aroma will
fill the air!
Who
can resist a chocolate flower? There are many different molds
that melted chocolate can be poured into to make the most beautiful
and delicious flowers ever! From a single
rose to an entire
garden get creative!
This Valentine's Day, enjoy
flowers fresh from the garden or make some of your own. It is the thought behind the flowers that
is the gift anyway. It all comes down to an old saying "A rose by any other name is just
as sweet" - especially when it's made from chocolate!
