Some people are more comfortable with words than others. Don’t lose faith if sometimes you have trouble finding the right words to express your feelings. Flowers can often help. In addition to their beauty and wonderful scents, flowers are a traditional and articulate way to convey your message.

Get your message across
Although in most cases flowers express love, they're also perfect for conveying a multitude of other messages including: “I am proud of you,” “I am thinking of you,” “I miss you,” “I share in your sorrow,” “I am there for you,” and many more. That is why flowers are gifted to celebrate a birth, an anniversary, convalescence or death, a promotion, a prolonged absence, or simply to make someone happy. Whatever its significance, size, or colour, a bouquet is always current.
Many apologies
At times, flowers can also allow you to express an apology. You totally forgot about your better-half’s birthday? Your child’s music recital? Your wedding anniversary? You mother’s birthday? All of the above? You might just need more than one flower delivery to repair the damage, but if you're riddled with guilt and would like to express your regrets, you can at least begin to say it with flowers. Your intent will be appreciated and may lead to closure.
And what about men?
It’s a common belief that women are always impressed by flowers, but it’s a mistake to believe that any man in your circle of friends wouldn't appreciate such a gift.
When you don’t know how to say it, it’s easy to just say it with flowers.
