Summer is the perfect time to celebrate a birthday with a fresh bouquet of birthday flowers. As the staff at Forget Me Not Flower Shop in North Haven, CT, explains, the right arrangement can brighten anyone’s special day, but finding the perfect flowers for your bouquet can be tough.

Below, their staff shares a few of their favorite summer flowers to help you create an ideal birthday arrangement:

• Sunflowers: These bright yellow blooms are the perfect centerpiece for a birthday arrangement, but are colorful enough to stand on their own. Though they don’t have a strong floral scent, their striking petals and deep brown centers naturally draw the eye and add a pop of color to any room. Best of all, sunflowers come in different sizes, so you can choose to make a statement or create smaller floral arrangements perfect for displaying on a desk.
• Roses: Roses are available year-round and make the perfect addition to any bouquet for that special someone. Since they’re available in many colors, you can find the right variety for your bouquet of birthday flowers.
• Lilies: If you’re looking for a unique floral arrangement for your loved one’s birthday, consider incorporating lilies into the bouquet. These bright white flowers have a unique petal shape that adds flair and texture to an otherwise standard arrangement.
• Orchids: If you’re looking to give your loved one a birthday gift that lasts, consider giving them a potted orchid. With proper care and moisture, these beautiful flowers bloom repeatedly, making a perfect desk decoration or an ideal addition to any bedroom. Orchids come in many colors, so you’re sure to find a variety that your loved one will adore.
• Bamboo: Though not a flower, bamboo displays add a relaxing feel to any space. Like orchids, bamboo will thrive for many weeks to come. They’re also ideal for allergy-sufferers who may otherwise be unable to appreciate a complete traditional bouquet.
