Roses may be beautiful, but they tend to be overused on Valentine’s Day. They’re also far from the only romantic flower you could give your loved one. With so many great choices, why keep buying roses every year? If you’re interested in making this Valentine’s Day different—and just as special—here are a few flower species that symbolize love just as powerfully as the rose.

5 Great Options for Valentine’s Day Flowers

1. Gerber Daisies

You might already associate daisies with the garden variety, with white petals and yellow pistil, but there are many others. Gerber daisies, in particular, are available in several colors, including a larger-than-life red—perfect for Valentine’s Day.

2. Tulips

Traditionally, red and pink tulips are appropriate for when you’ve started a new relationship and hope that it may blossom into something long-lasting. You could also give tulips when you want to renew your relationship and reaffirm your commitment to your partner.

3. Succulents

flowersThey aren’t for everybody, but succulents (which include cacti and aloe) are perfect for the person who appreciates the gift of a living houseplant—especially one that’s easy to care for. Succulents can grow in just about any container and can thrive indoors or outdoors.

4. Calla Lilies

Show your loved one you care with the innocent beauty of a calla lily, which traditionally symbolizes youth, devotion, and divinity. A bouquet of calla lilies makes an elegant gift, which can last for up to three weeks in a vase.

5. Orchids

These flowers encompass a massive variety of subspecies, but what they all have in common is their graceful nature. Exotic orchids also symbolize luxury and virility and express passionate love.
