Common vs. Exotic Flowers: What Each One Says Without Speaking
Not all flowers create the same effect.
Some bring comfort. Others impress. And a few make someone say:
“Where did you find that?”
At Zulove, we don’t just choose flowers for their beauty, but for the emotional and visual impact they can create.
And one of the most important questions when designing a gift is:
Do you need something familiar… or unforgettable?
💜 Common Flowers: Warm, Familiar, and Universal
🌹 Roses, sunflowers, lilies, alstroemerias, daisies
They provide emotional reassurance.
Perfect for family occasions, thank-you gifts, birthdays, and thoughtful gestures between friends.
They’re associated with sweetness, tenderness, and nostalgia.
“When a grandmother receives pink roses, she feels once again that someone is looking at her with love.”
🟣 What They Communicate:
Familiarity, tenderness, trust, memories
🌺 Exotic Flowers: Striking, Memorable, and Unique
Orchids, anthuriums, heliconias, birds of paradise, proteas, ginger
They make an instant impact.
Ideal for elegant celebrations, moments of admiration, or formal events.
They’re associated with sophistication, originality, and strength.
“You don’t give an orchid out of obligation. You give it when you want to leave a mark.”
🟣 What They Communicate:
Style, presence, admiration, character
📝 When to Choose One or the Other:
✔️ If you want something emotional and classic:
Roses, alstroemerias, white or pink lilies.
✔️ If you want someone to feel truly special and unique:
Orchids, tropical flowers, and strong-stemmed blooms.
✔️ If the setting is important (office, hotel, event):
Exotic combinations + structured foliage = striking presence.
✔️ If the occasion is intimate or family-oriented:
Common flowers + soft colors + delicate base.
📌 Real Zulove Stories:
A client ordered sunflowers and roses for her mother in the hospital:
“I want her to feel at home, not in a clinic.”
A lawyer requested anthuriums and orchids in a glass vase for his reception:
“I don’t want words. I want it to look powerful.”
A young woman asked for white lilies to say she was sorry:
“I needed softness. I wanted the flower to help open the door.”
Every flower has something to say.
Some whisper, others speak boldly.
But all, when chosen with intention, can touch the heart.
