New Year’s is near us and that means that Valentine’s Day is also around the corner. Although the traditional flowers for this occasion are red roses, there are some other ones that are also romantic and have specific meanings, just like red roses. For example, chrysanthemums symbolize perfection, love, and the Sun, while white carnations represent purity and true love. If your relationship started recently, primroses are a great choice.

As you know, love is felt by our heart, hence, most men and women choose red for their flowers.
