great floral gifts, however, still remains a mystery to most men.
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then the
pathway to a woman’s heart is through her other senses,” “Flowers are a sensual gift that can express any emotion so simply – with just a little knowledge and a phone call to the florist.”
Here’s some advice advice to all of you men on how to send just the right message to the woman in your life – a new girlfriend, that special someone, Mom or a good friend.

Add a thoughtful card to help communicate just the right sentiment
The Real Deal. Flowers are intimately – and internationally – linked with the art of romance, and for good reason. “As relationships grow, flowers become symbols of different events and milestones in our lives together. Take note of her favorite flowers – the varieties at your wedding, flowers you sent her when you first started dating or the ones she buys for herself. Those will have great meaning and impact.”
Leading Ladies. “No woman – especially moms, grandmas and sisters – should live without a little TLC,”. A fabulous flowering plant or a garden-style arrangement with greens and soft pastel hues – no matter what the flower – will send the message that you care.
The Gal Pal. “Flowers that show you’re
thinking of someone, but not in a sensual way, have a natural, just-picked
feeling,”ask for a selection of garden-style flowers or a bright bold
color palette that is fun and whimsical. A basket with a mix of flowering
and green plants delivered to her door or office is also a sure fire
winner.
Research shows that 96% of women like to receive flowers when
they’re not expecting them. “Guys should know that they don’t have to wait for
a special occasion to give flowers,” Cole says. “Make an occasion by sending
flowers to the woman in your life, just because. They’ll never forget it.”For men willing to try something trendy. She suggests these three top design styles that men can ask for with confidence:
Monobotanic. Arrangements featuring only one type of flower (such as all roses, tulips, lilies or gerbera) are in style and may even include different colors of the same flower in the vase or container.
Monochromatic. Pick a color, any color and stick with it! If her favorite color is pink, for example, ask your florist for a fresh bouquet of different flowers in the same color range.
Bunches of texture. Ask your florist to select complementary flowers of various textures to place in bunches in an elegant glass container. This unique look has a bold, contemporary feel and will surely provide the “wow” factor
