Well, this may come as a surprise and quite experimental to you, but then again times are changing (Metroseuality has dawned upon!) and flowers really are that perfect fit for the different men in your life. Brother certainly stands in a different league altogether – that of a blood tied one!
From loving and make feel special gestures- it comes as no miracle, given the jet – set age we all dwell in – with the motley of online gifting portals at your busy fingertips, you can anyways select flowers for men while bracing your sensibilities with floral tips to be able to melt the otherwise immaculate heart of the toughest guy out there!

What did you say? Times have changed… Metrosexuality dawns upon!

Picture this! Ten years ago—maybe even only five years ago—sending flowers to a man was comparatively unheard of. All said and done, which macho man wants to admit anytime that he likes to take time out to be able to smell those Red roses?
But then again ours is a world where change comes fast, and today it’s not that exceptional to see men setting forth for a spa session or for that matter, a facial or even a mud bath, or else sitting down in the chair for a manicure. Okay! Next to these kinds of indulgences and pampering, flowers for men seem absolutely quaint!
And then again, there is for every man, a petal and a flower! (Ok, options zeroed upon – for some men, it may still have to be a plant!) Nevertheless, akin to a guy who will go on to hide the fact that he occasionally watches sitcoms as “Desperate Housewives,” he may also probably have trouble being upfront as to what kinds of flowers he likes. That’s where the online gifting solutions can come to your rescue!
What are the colors and arrangements stands in good stead so as to be able to send to men?
Its not that one is saying men see the world in shades of black and white, but based on the opinions of most guys, it’s probably best to avoid pastel colors or arrangements that stand as too busy. Make up your mind on a “masculine” monochromatic palette, reading in the order of dendrobium orchid bouquets in white or purple, or robust sunflower bouquets which stand as good flowers options as far as guys are concerned. Also flowers such as birds of paradise as they have “personality” and a “strong appearance.”
Modern floral arrangements, with strong clean lines and a more natural style to them, serve as great gifting choice for guys. It is harmless to be able to keep in mind that certain flowers can symbolize powerful feelings reading in the order as, viz:
  • Chrysanthemums— connotes friendship
  • Daisies— stands loyalty
  • Red roses— signifies romantic love
  • Yellow roses— symbolizes friendship
  • Alstroemeria— is eponymous devotion
  • Bamboo— Manifests good luck
If your gut relative has a preferred hobby, that makes the quest of getting flowers for him even easier as you can add a signature touch that can take your gift to an aesthetic level altogether. For outdoors men, try a rustic natural arrangement. And if your guy is into working on cars or crafting things with his skilled hands, then try sending him a gift as a bonsai plant for instance, which has a definitively masculine appeal and will feed his desire to “tinker his way to glory!”

 

What are the occasions that stand as befitting to send flowers to Guy relatives?

It is naturally known that- Flowers can be given on any occasion, and men love to get flowers for the same reasons they send them. Try and Pay close attention to when he normally sends flowers (birthdays, followed by anniversaries etc), as these serve as ideal occasions to return the gesture. As an alternative, you could send them across to revel in the success at work. Just know that the context is very important. If your Brother works in an office, then a bouquet of roses might be the right gift to send to him at work. But if he works on a construction site, then maybe you might want to surprise him with flowers once he returns back home.
A party and a barbecue also stands as that perfect time to give flowers to a man. First things first, because they add a splash of living color to the get-together. And second—and this goes for particularly “macho men”—he can always say, as looks lovingly upon the flowers you gave him, “Oh, those flowers aren’t really for me. They’re meant for the party! My beloved Sister!” Finally, flowers for men are the same kind of gift as there are for women: a gift of love. So, if your Brother knows that you love him— or if you want him to know! — send him aesthetic flowers. Just as women love receiving flowers for reasons of their own, a surprise gift of flowers for him will work wonders, too!
Whenever the need arises to shower your sisterly love, flowers stand as the quintessential choice!

The Gift Of Flowers And Science Of Symbolization

Flowers – I have no idea how you perceive this word but I personally don’t even take it as a contribution in the dictionary as for me Flowers is a feeling. Just think of them; the scent, the beauty and that can’t be captured true enigma, just WAO!  Just as the love, there is no replacement for them in this world.
Hate being over dramatic but maybe it is the atmosphere they create or the colors they widespread or it is because of their aesthetics that they become the ideal choice of gifts for all occasions. Flowers are a great (and I mean it) way to communicate, be it any relation. The myth that flowers can just represent romance and grief needs to be busted. I am not a botany expert but at least can tell you what flower represents what. 

Daisy – the Pure Soul:
These are a symbol of all the beautiful diction such as innocence, purity, trustworthy love and beauty. They also represent simplicity and patience. If you have ever seen middle aged paintings, daisies were used in abundance (artists love them for sure).

Dandelion:
Gift dandelions to people you are affectionately inclined to – for they tell the person your faithfulness towards them. Famously known as love’s oracle, are considered good luck. If I have to give one word to Dandelions, I would call them ‘desire’.

Forget-me-Not:
The name comes from the tale of a Knight and his lady and represents in real what it suggests. Use them where the true love is involved and you would hate to be forgotten. Their petals are simply astonishing.

Hyacinth for the sportsmanship:
Ever faced the dilemma of what to gift your rival? As a matter of fact they are ideal for games and sports to symbolize the playful joy, but where in the competition there is no sportsman ship required? Sending greetings to your business competitors is a good gesture. Some say yellow hyacinth represents jealousy but if we go into the history, they were always meant for rebirth.

Jasmine
Jasmine as found in different origins symbolizes different things. Where Indian jasmine means love and attachment, Spanish jasmine stands for sensuality. Yellow being the color of it corresponds to grace and elegance. Not linked with this but it is believed that Jasmine tea prevents cancer as well.

Lilac to the Youthfulness:
Ideal to give to the teenagers as it goes for pride, beauty and youthful innocence. Lilacs come in pink, white, pale yellow and burgundy emit scented aroma. 

Lotus:
Lotus is perfect to give to your teachers or ideals. It calls for forgetfulness of the past. 

Violets the all-rounder:
Ideal for gifts for all occasions, violets mean in every way modesty, virtue and affection. Violets have always been for happiness.
