What are the most unique flowers to gift on Valentine’s Day?

Roses are undoubtedly a classic but what if the stylish and modish aura of your loved one strikes out all the time? You might want to surprise them with your thoughtful choice of flowers. Because when the day is exceptional, the flowers are meant to be exceptional too. Thus, subtle and elegant Calla Lilies, vibrant Ranunculus, striking Alstromaerias, lovely Carnations, Alemones, and some Rose Lillies would be some of the most unique flowers to go for this Valentine’s Day.

Calla Lilies

A Calla Lily breathes elegance and classiness. Blossoming in some of the most striking colours like lavender, classic white, orange, pink, dark maroon, and yellow, one-of-a-kind long-stemmed Calla Lilies are absolute showstoppers. If you’re thinking of placing an order for some magnificent dark maroon or lavender or even an entire bunch of all the possible colours of Calla Lilies delicately wrapped together with gorgeous bouquet adornments, then you’re definitely thinking right.

Carnations

Carnations could be found in a wide range of colours. However, the only natural colours that a Carnation has are white and pinkish purple. Rest, yellow, shades of white, green and red Carnations are formed through selective breeding. The unique flower symbolises purity and going for this luxurious bunch of beauty enveloped in a nice transparent cellophane paper would certainly stand out as a memory of the pure relationship that you’ve been sharing with your loved one.

Anemones

The anemone, a vibrant, lively, and one of the most unique flowers, is not a classic Valentine’s Day choice but it definitely exhibits what you would address as modish. If you are looking forward to surprising your loved ones with something other than the traditional roses then even Anemones would be a lovely choice. The flowers epitomise protection and thus this would be an extremely thoughtful gesture from your end to express how protective you are about the relationship you share with your loved one.

Ranunculus

Call these flowers semi-identical or non-identical twins of roses but these are a perfect and much-upscaled alternative to roses. The stunning Ranunculus symbolises charm and attractiveness, meaning, if you happen to deliver these unique flowers to your loved ones this Valentine’s Day, showing how much you’re attracted to the person and how glued you are to the relationship, there’s nothing like it. These almost rose-like flowers would perfectly complement a person who lights up any room they walk into.
