Flowers of friendship
Which flower to give a friend: joy, loyalty and closeness, with no ambiguity.
Giving a friend a flower is a gesture that touches: it says "you matter" with nothing expected in return, and without the weight of a love declaration.
The colours of friendship
The yellow rose has long been the flower of friendship: it speaks of joy, warmth and closeness. The pink rose, more tender, adds gratitude. Red is best avoided, as it is often read as a declaration.
When to give it
For a birthday, a helping hand, a reunion, a hard time you went through together, or for no reason at all: it is often the flower given without an occasion that pleases most.
The words to go with it
A shared memory, a joke only you two understand, a precise thank you: a short message, written or spoken, is enough to turn the flower into a real gift.
