Valentines Day Research
Posted on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 12:59 am
Valentine's Day sees the sales of flowers, predominately pink, exceed ten million in one day. It is estimated that over one million British men and women spent in excess of Thirty Million pounds on Valentine flowers. Men purchase the Majority, however, it is becoming Increasingly popular for women to buy and send flowers to men. Strong vibrant colors from exotics and sturdy sculptured shapes, with berries and foliage, as well as roses, are becoming ever more popular for women to purchase and send to men.
Many people use to send Valentines flowers hidden meanings and messages. The tradition of this dates back to Victorian times when suitors would use flowers to send coded messages to their lovers. Roses are Undoubtedly the most popular choice of flower to send on Valentine's Day folklore says that sending ten roses means' you are perfect ', a dozen roses sent' be mine 'and for Those Who Push the boat out and buy two dozen roses are saying' forever yours'. It is also Believed by many roses that feels without their thorns and leaves say 'there is nothing to hope or fear' while given a rose with its thorns removed, but still with its leaves say 'I am no longer afraid to reveal my feelings, I live in hope. "
The color of the roses smell also has hidden meanings, something carefully to send the right message! Red Roses are a sign of true love, moss pink means that you love someone from afar, purple roses represent everlasting love, beware sending yellow roses as they give the message that you are jealous while white roses say 'I love you not'!
Roses are renowned for the sensuality of their silken petals, their scent Heighten 'falling in love'. Scientific researches have begun to discover that roses have specific chemicals Which give us a happy feeling and many aromatherapists use rose oil to Reduce stress and tension.
People do send flowers other than roses on Valentines Day. There are a variety of spring flowers Which also come in various shades of reds and pinks if the traditional Valentine's colors are to be adhered to, however, it has recently become very trendy to send huge bouquets of spring flowers with a variety of vibrant colors or a highly scented posy of seasonal flowers including narcissus, lilac and lily-of-the-valley.
For The more adventurous year antirrhinum shaped like a giant love-heart is available in white, pink and lime green and a 'saucy' glossy lip-stick red colored. The flower surrounds a phallic shaped creamy colored beacon and should certainly let your Valentine exactly how you are feeling!
The exotic and rarely seen orchids such as Oncidium with a mass of small butterfly shaped flowers Paphiopedilum Gold, the slipper orchid, have become the most glamorous flowers for celebrities to be seen giving and receiving this season. Other exotics and tropical flowers, Bird of Paradise with Its unmistakable large blue and orange flowers or the tall, highly perfumed Tuberose make a real statement of individualism and uniqueness feels as Valentine's flowers.
whats are the disadvantages of valentine's day? What are arguments against it?
I'm doing a research over why valentine's day should not be held. It's for debate. It's silly, and im aware of that fact. PLEASE SPARE SOME IDEAS IF YOU HAVE ANY!!!!
It uses a lot of resources and creates a lot of unnecessary waste millions of bits of paper wasted in the form of cards and wrapping paper, millions of those stupid novelty gifts, like plush hearts or ugly red teddy bears- all this ends discarded and useless in the trash.
