An arrangement by New York floral designer Cathy Graham includes dahlias, garden roses and ranunculus plus fragrant rosemary, which signifies remembrance. It would make a nice Mother’s Day or get-well arrangement.
Daisies are good to send to someone who has a casual, free-spirited style, says Amy Merrick in her new book, “On Flowers: Lessons From an Accidental Florist.”
Included in this Atelier Ashley Flowers design for a baby shower are ranunculus, which mean radiant charm. It never hurts to let a woman who is about to give birth know that she is radiant, owner Ashley Greer says.
Laura Dowling says her "green bean casserole" bouquet is good to send to a loved one who lives far away, signifying nostalgia, comfort and family gatherings.

When London flower designer Shane Connolly discusses arrangements with his clients, which include members of the British royal family, he sometimes suggests using a flower that has a special significance.
“Considering the meaning of flowers really adds an extra dimension of thoughtfulness to an arrangement,” Connolly says. It could be sending peonies, which represent devotion, for Mother’s Day or including rosemary in a sympathy bouquet because it signifies remembrance. In the wedding bouquet Connolly created for Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding to Prince William, some white Sweet William blossoms were mixed in to symbolize gallantry. “Plus that was a nice pun on the groom,” says Connolly, who has written several books about the language of flowers.
