History
1. Valentine's day is celebrated on the 14th of february each year. Since the mid-19th century it has been observed as a celebration between loved ones. Traditionally, small gifts are exchanged between lovers and reveal their feelings for one another.
Function
2. Surveys have shown that men like to receive valentines flowers nearly as much as women do. In fact, a survey conducted by the society of american florists found that nearly 60 percent of men would enjoy receiving flowers on valentine's day. However, not all of these men are willing to admit this fact in public.
a study by rutgers university researchers found that men who received flowers were more open socially. Male flower recipients smiled more often, stood closer to subjects, and maintained direct-eye contact more than men who did not receive flowers. The study found that ethnicity, age or background did not matter.
Types
3. When purchasing valentine's day flowers for a man, it is important to wade through all the pink flowers and go for something more masculine. There are many types of flowers that come in masculine flowers, such as orchids, tulips and sunflowers. The society of american florists found that men preferred vibrant colors such as reds and yellows. Large flowers with sharp lines, such as sunflowers, can be more masculine than dainty flowers such as lilies of the valley.
Considerations
4. Ask the florist to include a lot of greenery with the bouquet valentines flowers. Bouquets with more greenery tend to appear more masculine. Tropical flowers are also a good choice because they are vibrantly colored and unusual in appearance.
Benefits
5. Rutgers university scientists have shown that flowers can enhance your mood, lessen depression symptoms and increase happiness. These feelings were not true only of women, but of men, as well. Receiving flowers can enhance the mood and social outlook of the men receiving them.
purchasing flowers for a man on valentine's day can be an unexpected, but appreciated, way to tell him you love and care for him.
