Flowers speak the universal language of love and are always a welcome gift when it comes to anniversaries, Valentine's Day and other romantic occasions.

You can go for the classic choice of red and pink blooms—remember, you can never go wrong with roses—but if you want to do something unique for your one-in-a-million significant other, dare to be different with rare colours and unique flower species.

Go bright and bold to celebrate another year around the sun. Yellow flowers are always a winner, as they are a symbol of friendship, optimism and joy—think sunflowrs, daffodils, marigolds and chrysanthemum.

If you want to go above and beyond, research their birthday month’s birth flower and customise a special bouquet made just for them.
