By Natalie Aranda, Fri Dec 9th

Men love flowers, but for some reason flowers are not the firstthing that comes to mind when an individual is looking for aman’s gift. However, the idea that flowers are only forwomen is a complete misconception. In fact, many surveys takenby men show that the vast majority of men would enjoy receivingflowers for their or other special occasions, so giftgivers should take note. As such, flowers should be consideredas a gift for any man whether he be a father, husband, boyfriendor son.

The flowers that are most appropriate for men, regardless of theposition the man holds in your life, are flowers that are brightand vibrant in reds, oranges and yellows. Because of this,roses, Gerber daisies and carnations are always great choices.Also, any birth month flower would be an appropriate birthdaygift not to mention any particular favorite flower the man mighthave from orchids to a cactus. Of course, if you are sendingbirthday flowers to your husband or boyfriend red roses are justas appropriate for men as they are for women and represent thelove and passion in the relationship.

Flowers specifically for a dad or a son should not bepassionate, but loving and show appreciation and thoughtfulnesson their special day. Again, bright colored flowers should besent and plants and bonsai trees are also great choices.

Different months of the year have corresponding flowers, muchlike birthstones. January is the snowdrop and carnation;February the primrose

and violet; March the violet and jonquil;April flowers are the daisy and sweet pea; May represents lilyof the valley and hawthorn; June is the rose and honeysuckle;July the water lily and larkspur; August represents thegladiolus and poppy; September the Morning Glory and Aster;October the Marigold; November, chrysanthemum; and Decemberbirthday’s the Poinsettia and Holly.

I decided to head to the internet.Typing in “florists in Leeds and Leeds florist”, then "florists in Glasgow and Glasgow florist", I found the perfectflowers for his birthday. The flowers can be ordered online fromLeeds and sent to Glasgow and would arrive early next morning.

Regardless of whose it is whether man or woman, son ordaughter, husband or wife, girlfriend or boyfriend, flowers arealways an appropriate and thoughtful gift that will beappreciated immensely.
