I know each type of rose or carnation has some meaning to it, but I don't know what they are. Can anyone tell me what rose/carnation colors symbolize?
I'm getting flowers for friends. What color should they be?
Do people still know the language of flowers? I had a book about that, but don't remember the 'code.' It seems to be different in different places and times, and most people don't seem to know that the flowers' color is supposed to 'mean' something.
Where I live, carnations remind too many people of communism (especially red and white ones), and chrysanthemums are only for funerals.
When I buy flowers - which is a fairly common social expectation where I live - I go by the color that I know my friend likes best, or what will go with the decor of their house. I try to choose something that's in season now, something that will have a nice fragrance, so that they get the visual pleasure as well as the olfactory pleasure of smelling the flowers (though don't get very fragrant flowers if you think they'll put them on the table at a dinner party - it can interfere with the smell and taste of the food).
Roses (especially red) often mean romantic love, and frankly, the ones you buy at a florist shop often have no discernable rose fragrance and - if they are sold as buds - often die without opening up. The heads just droop and turn black. Plus they are expensive. In my book, store-bought roses are a big disappointment and waste of time. Do the flowers have to be roses or carnations?
You could surprise your friends with something unusual, not the cliche, standard roses, for example, in a romantic context. Try violets or a potted flowering bulb that's in season right now (hyacinths have a wonderful fragrance, and they can plant the bulb outside later). Sometimes I can get a huge bouquet of something that's 'in' right now (like tulips) for the price of some hot-house, fragrance-free roses that look like genuine plastic, they are so 'perfect.' The huge bouquet looks lavish and makes my friends laugh - and can be divided up and put in several rooms to give pleasure in more than one place.
What color do your friends like?
Where will they put the flowers (on the table at dinner? in the garden when the bulb dies? will they have a vase big or narrow enough?)
What is fragrant?
What flower will last longest - giving you the most value for your money?
Basically, it seems more important to give your friends pleasure than to follow some strict rules about what a color means - especially if they don't even know what the color means!
Last tip: if your friends are male and female, chances are the woman is more likely to care about the flowers than the man, so if you know anything about her preferences, please her.
If you're totally lost, look at the flowers and find something that strikes you as pretty, and then you can say, 'I chose these flowers because they are delicate/ gorgeous/ romantic/ elegant/ friendly-looking/ exotic, etc., and they remind me of you.'
Even if they are the 'wrong' color, your friends will be flattered by the compliment and the thought.
Flowers are supposed to be fun! Have fun!

Are roses and carnations vascular plants? science project!!!]?
im doing a science project w/ flowers and it has to do w/ vascular tissues
..but are roses and carnations both vascular plants???
Are roses and carnations vascular plants? science project!!!]?
yes, all flowering plants are vascular plants. The only plan ts that are not vascular are mosses and algaes.Ferns and conifers are vascular. It has to do with the way the plant transports water through its tissues.

Flowers in my hair?
I'm planning to wear carnations in my hair for a prom I'll be attending this year. I just want to know how they would last and if they would hold up.
Flowers in my hair?
wow.... that'll be very pretty.
you've picked a good flower for staying power as well. those flowers will look good without water for quite a long time so don't worry about them wilting or anything.
and, as an added bonus, you'll also have the beautiful and delicate scent of these flowers all evening.
i'm not quite sure how you plan to attach them to your hair though... bobby pins? the bases of these flowers are also very sturdy so i'm sure you can put one end of the bobby pin right through the base, and the other through your hair.
anyway, i'm sure you'll figure it out and i'm sure you'll look absolutely beautiful!
Reply:thank you! and enjoy your prom! Report It
Reply:Carnations should hold up well for you. Baby's Breath also does very well.
Reply:Yes, carnations are very hardy and last a long time.
Reply:Is the prom going to be in SAN FRANCISCO? Iv'e even see guys with flowers in their hair in Hawaii and other tropics. Why not. If you want to really knock them over see if you can find a passion flower or maybe a gardenia
Reply:Yes carnations hold up for quite awhile as a cut flower--I am also a horticulturist,as well as a florist designer. Carnations are one of the longest lasting cut flowers, both in and out of water. Just ask a flower designer to attach them to a hair clip and they will accent your beauty all night and for a few days afterwords. If it was a great time, you and dry them to keep forever!!

Reply:Carnations are funeral flowers. Please don't choose them. Everyone hit the nail on the head with tulips. You can find an array of colors and they are bright. If you want a more romantic flower, Calla Lillies are grand and gorgeous. I was a bridesmaid that got to carry a couple of callas with ribbon and it looked good. The bride had callas and roses to make a very stated arrangement and it was fabulous! You can make big arrangements and they are good "fakes" , if you aren't buying them at Kmart.
Talk to a local florist even for ideas of flowers as well. Use your resources wisely!!!
GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Hi iv made many of flowers for brides maid and brides, and yes iv was given flowers to use that they picked up at wal mart andthe rug shop they worked beauitfully, it all in what you want, look around you ll find something to use and d ont forgetr to put some greenerey and best of luck
Reply:It's plural, dear, as in "What ARE the best flowers..." If you are having this much trouble with this one, I don't hold out much hope for the really MAJOR decisions that will come with marriage. Lot's of luck, dear! You're going to NEED it!
Reply:SUNFLOWERS!
Daisies and sunflowers are extravagant at a wedding!
You could even add purple susans. They are similarly shaped, but purple in coloration.

Reply:how about tulips?????????????
Reply:i think tulips or callas they are the best for a spring wedding, my sister used callas last april and it was beautiful!!!
Reply:It really depends on the quality of the fake flower, I personally don't like them. Maybe you can check with a supermarket and haven your flowers done there for a low cost. I think fake flowers look strange in pictures and you can always tell they are fake. They look like hotel centerpieces.
Reply:Tulips, hyacinths, lilacs, and crocuses are all sping flowers. There are also white and pink daffodils nowadays.
Reply:Gerber daisies are really pretty. You can get them in red and white. Or mums and spider mums. Those are pretty as well. Good luck!
Reply:what about Tulips?? my mum had them! i only tried
Reply:tulips. they come in all these lovely colors. from red to orange and the classic white. native to eurasia.
