Flowers come in a plethora of shapes and colour variations, each with its own name and classification. There are over 400,000 different varieties of flowering plants, so there’s bound to be one that matches your style! If that sounds like a lot to take in, don’t worry – here’s a short rundown of some of the most common flower types:
Alstroemerias
Alstroemerias are native to South America and are known as Peruvian Lilies or Inca Lilies. Peruvian Lilies are symbolic of friendship, prosperity, and loyalty and come in a number of warm colours including pink and orange. When planted in direct sunlight and watered weekly, these flowers bloom in late spring/early summer (water more often when you notice soil looking dry, water less when the soil looks soggy). Send flowers to Gurgaon and make your near and dear ones happy.
Calla lily
The Calla Lily is a flower that symbolises confidence and purity. As a result, religious figures such as the Virgin Mary are often portrayed with a bouquet of calla lilies in their hands. Calla lilies are also associated with rebirth and compassion, making them a common flower for funerals. These lovely flowers prefer full to partial sunshine and should be planted in the spring for a late summer bloom. With proper treatment, they will reach a length of two feet! Calla lilies will last up to two weeks in a vase until cut.
Carnation
Big flowered carnations, spray carnations, and dwarf flowered carnations are the three varieties of carnations. With one large bloom per stem, large flowered carnations can grow to be over 20 inches tall. The florist’s carnation is another name for these flowers. Carnations in the spray and dwarf varieties have smaller blooms but several blooms per stem. Carnations that reach a height of 12 inches are more commonly found in gardens. When planting carnations, make sure to use a well-draining soil and a location that receives plenty of sunlight. Carnations have various meanings depending on their colour – a pink carnation represents motherly love, a white carnation represents good luck, and a yellow carnation represents disappointment. Send flowers to Jaipur and make your special people feel more happy.
Daisies
Daisies are one of the largest known plant families and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Daisies were once associated with innocence, a connotation that dates back to the Victorian period. The flower will take on a different sense depending on the colour of the daisy. Daisy flowers thrive in full sun and average soil. They can grow to be anywhere from 8 inches to 4 feet tall, depending on the variety. Water only if there is less than 1 inch of rain every week during the season.
Gerbera daisy
The Gerbera Daisy, the world’s fifth most common flower, comes in a rainbow of colours, including pink, orange, yellow, and red. The Gerbera was first discovered in South Africa in 1884, and it was then brought to England, where breeders produced a variety of Gerberas with brighter colours and higher quality. Gerberas’ popularity gradually spread to the Netherlands, which grew to become one of the world’s largest distributors of Gerbera daisies, a position it still holds today. Its colourful petals make it the flower of choice for all happy occasions, including birthdays and weddings.
Peonies
Peonies come in a wide range of colours, from white to red, coral, purple, pink, and gold. Planting at the right time, planting appropriately, and, of course, caring for your peonies throughout the year, even when they aren’t in season, are the keys to growing a healthy peony. Since peonies may grow to be very tall (up to five feet tall! ), you’ll want to make sure the location you choose is large enough. Know that peonies will return year after year, so you’ll need to plan ahead.
Dahlias
These vibrant blooms are available in a variety of colours and can easily be integrated into any current or new garden. These flowers, unlike most plants, can tolerate some shade. They even bloom for a long time, beginning in mid-summer and lasting until the first frost. Dahlias, while being perennials, are tuberous rooted plants that need to be replanted every spring after resting. Send flowers to Amritsar and make your near and dear ones happy.
