Why Science Thinks You Should Send Him Flowers for Valentine’s Day
If flowers seem like an odd gift choice for a man, think again! Sending your guy flowers might just be the best thing you ever did for Valentine’s Day. Studies have shown that men who receive flowers become more open and communicative, they make better eye contact, and they stand closer to those around them. These are all ingredients to intimacy, which Valentine’s Day and serious relationships wouldn’t be complete without. If you’re hoping to spend a romantic day with your significant other, you might want to seriously consider surprising him with flowers.

Roses are perfect for both men and women. On Valentine’s Day, red roses, which symbolize romantic love, tend to be the most popular, but all colors of roses have different meanings. You can send your guy a bouquet of mixed roses to show him all the different ways you care. In addition to red roses, our Lush Life Rose Bouquet includes pink and orange roses, which symbolize admiration and passion.
Opulent Orchids

Orchids are elegant and alluring with their tendrils of delicate flowers. They’re also fairly easy to care for and will continue to bloom every winter. For men, we recommend all-white Phalaenopsis orchids, like those included in our Opulent Orchids planter.

How to Choose a Floral Arrangement He Didn’t Know He Always Wanted
At first, shopping for flowers for a man can seem like a difficult task, but it’s actually not too bad because there are so many different designs to choose from. To find a more masculine look that your husband or boyfriend will love, we recommend sticking with strong, bold colors like primaries and jewel tones, rather than pastels. Monochromatic color palettes are also a great choice!
