Saying “thank you” with flowers can be an easy, creative, and unexpected way to say “Thank you.” It’s easy for the giver, and it’s always a delight for the recipient.

Whether you want to offer your appreciation to your child’s teacher, a neighbor who house sat for you, or a friend who took care of you when you were ill, you have many beautiful choices for “thank you” flowers to give.

The following are some flowers for saying “thank you” that we especially love:

Sweet Peas

What better way to say “thank you” for doing something sweet than sending sweet peas. Sweet peas can say “thank you” for concert tickets, a job referral, excellent ongoing service, or help with an event. These beauties smell just as sweet and wonderful as they look.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are flowers given to say “thank you for understanding.” They’re ideal to send to someone who has helped you through a tough time physically, emotionally, or financially. These blossoms come in pink, blue, peach, and white. They’re economical if you’re on a budget because you only need one or two blooms to fill up a vase.

Chrysanthemums

To say “thank you” to a friend, choose chrysanthemums. These flowers are cheerful and they represent joy. To show how joyful and thankful you are for a special friendship, give these blooms.

In addition to the flowers we’ve mentioned, you can say “thank you” by offering bellflowers, irises, or roses. Of course, any flower that you give with your whole heart will be a beautiful sentiment of gratitude.

Fragrant Flowers to Give as Gifts

November 20, 2015

Want to give flowers that will fill your recipient’s home with a strong and beautiful fragrance? We thought you might. Some flowers are more fragrant than others, so if you want to offer an experience for your giftee that’s like being surrounded by fresh blossoms in an abundant garden, you should know which flowers to choose.

Sweet smelling flowers conjure up thoughts of romance, peace, and innocence. They’re perfect for giving when you want to say, “I love you,” “You’re special,” or “I think I’m falling in love with you.”

We’ve given some thought as to which flowers we think are most fragrant and which would make perfect gifts. The following are some of the flowers we came up with.

Sweet Pea

Sweet peas are known for their intensely fragrant blooms. These plants are typically found in vine form, usually from about 4 to 6 feet tall. You can send a small potted vine, or you can ask your florist to send cut sweet pea flowers for you. These flowers come in many colors, including bi-colors.

Lily of the Valley

Even tiny flowers can have a big, robust flowers, as is proven with lily of the valley. This nodding bell-shaped flower typically comes in white or pink. Again, you can find this flower in a pot or cut. If you opt for a potted lily of the valley, you’ll surely be pleased (as will your recipient) to know that it’s very easy to care for.

Hyacinth

Hyacinth offers a sweet, sensual, and refreshing fragrance. This spring flower comes in colors like purple, pink, red, white, and yellow. Its a playful bloom that can convey friendship or budding love. Hyacinth looks lovely packed tightly in a plain brown paper wrap or in a simple vase.

These are three fragrant flowers that we love, but they are certainly not the only blooms that give off a provocative and gorgeous scent. We also adore irises, garden phlox, roses, jasmine, heliotrope, and gardenias. If you’re looking for fragrant blooms like these, simply do an online search to see which florists carry these flowers and which will deliver to your recipient’s location. We know that your intended will be thrilled with receiving any of these delicious-smelling floral gifts.
