I know many girls or women out there received flowers from their special someone or partners. I would like to know what kind of flowers do you like to receive and what does it symbolizes? For the guys, what kind of flowers do you like to give to your love interest or the woman of your life and why or what is the reason why you choose to give her that flower? Me, I like to receive white or red roses from my husband because white symbolizes purity and loyalty for me and red because well, obviously it symbolizes his deep love and commitment.

I like all the flowers but I think I'd like to receive some chrysanthemum. Lilly of the valley and Narcisus are also on my favourits flower list.

I think lily is my favorate flower. I know that lily meanings pureness in western culture, but still, there is another meaning of lily in China. Lily is named Bai He in Chinese, which means couples live in concord with each other for one hundred years. Lily is flower represent happinese and love.

I prepare tulip. Tulip means a perfect love. It sounds very nice.
Flowers have a lot of meanings, depend on the colors and their numbers.
For example (based on the numbers), 1 flower means 'think about you', 3 means 'respect you', 5 means 'attractive to you', 7 means 'love you'.
I also love Chrysanthemums. It symbolizes friendship.
