Step into the expressive world of flower symbolism with our ultimate guide to choosing the right blooms for every relative! Whether you’re thanking your parents for being the best on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, showering your grandparents with admiration on Grandparent’s Day, or humorously (and lovingly) reminding your siblings of your perpetual reign on National Siblings Day, every flower tells a story. Let Robertson’s Flowers, the best florist in Philadelphia, help you decide which blooms best convey your heartfelt sentiments and strengthen those precious family ties.

Send Love & Gratitude to Your Parents

Why wait for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day to show some love to your parents? Honestly, they probably deserve an extra “thank you” more often! Go for cute ranunculus, lilies, or fresh peach-hued blooms for those gratitude vibes. To shower them with love, consider classic peonies and colorful roses – floral icons for love and affection.

Show Your Respect & Admiration for Grandparents

Choosing flowers for Gramma and Grandpa can be as simple as picking those that bring a classic, timeless, and regal vibe. Orchids and irises do just that while symbolizing beauty, love, wisdom, refinement, charm, and gratitude. And to add a burst of bright spring sunshine, daffodils are your best friend, filled with joy and hope. And to express your love and admiration for your patience, purple asters say, “Only the best for you, Gram and Gramp!”

Celebrate the Cheerfulness & Wisdom of Aunts & Uncles

Raise a glass to the fantastic aunts and uncles in your life! Planning to surprise them with a beautiful bouquet? (Yes, please!) Indigo flowers like thistle, iris, anemones, and delphinium represent all the sage advice they’ve given over the years—because, let’s be honest, sometimes Mom and Dad didn’t have all the answers. And for the joy and energy they bring to every family gathering, vibrant birds of paradise or bright yellow flowers are perfect for reflecting their sparkling personalities.

Thank Siblings & Cousins for Their Friendship & Strength

For the sibs and cousins who were your partners in mischief and sometimes your rescue squad, here’s a bouquet that echoes those wild days! Let chrysanthemums and snapdragons represent the strength and resilience you’ve built together—whether pulling each other out of the latest scrape or because of your childhood shenanigans. Add in yellow blooms and alstroemeria for a splash of sunshine that reflects your deep-rooted friendship (BFFs all the way!). Finish with a touch of eucalyptus, giving it that fresh, cool vibe.

Spread Peace & Positivity to Your Chosen Fam

Celebrate your chosen fam (AKA your anti-drama league) with some floral goodness that’s as peaceful and blissful as the vibes they bring to your life. From calm and heartfelt hydrangeas to bold and bright sunflowers, these blooms are all about sunny days and peaceful nights. For pops of color, gerbera daisies are just the flower to keep things fun-loving!

From across the dinner table to across continents, sending a vibrant bouquet from Robertson’s Flowers feels like a warm, lovely-smelling embrace. Select blooms that symbolize your one-of-a-kind bond and send a bouquet full of love their way.
