Flowers For Hot Summers

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

Summer season is one long party, with picnics, fairs and other events running throughout the summer months. Although perception is not reality, but that shouldn’t stop you from thinking of the perfect gifts for the events you do attend. Flowers are always welcome, but during the summer heat you might want to pay attention to which flowers are best able to withstand hot temperature and hence last longer. Luckily, there are a number of fragrant and beautiful flowers that will keep their shape even while sitting out in the hot temperature.

HELENIUM

Some varieties of this flower resemble daisies, but on closer view they have a look all their own. They can add punch to a more elaborate bouquet, or hold the floor themselves when your florist’s creation is in the center of your summer table.

SUNFLOWER

The brilliant oranges, golds and yellows to the sunflower’s petals brighten up any summer table—particularly because of the plants hardy resistance to the heat. For all new beginnings, for having the wind at your back and setting your face towards new horizons, the gorgeous sunflower carries all these attributes.

RED VALERIAN

Red Valerian's thousands of tiny florets cluster in dense showy heads held above bushy, fleshy, gray-green foliage. The flowers have a nice but not strong fragrance, and the flower heads will last a full week when cut for an arrangement in the house.

ORCHIDS

Orchids have a reputation of being delicate, difficult flowers—but many forget that these amazing blooms grow wild in hot, humid temperatures. One can send white/pink orchids to say, "I am thinking of you..." or "I care about you...”. The meaning of the word orchid, when roughly translated means “delicate beauty”. Orchids are a beautiful way of expressing your feelings of respect, love and adoration. Thus making them a perfect gift for your someone special in the hot months.

CALLA LILIES

Like orchids, calla lilies are exotics, growing naturally in humid, tropical climates. For all their radiant beauty, calla lilies are strong and versatile enough to shine in many different temperatures. Lilies also tend to be a fantastic option, to gift to your lover as they stand for beauty and sweetness quite just like your loved one.

Keeping your flowers fresh and make them last for more than one event—we have a few tips on how to do that here on the site. Or you can ask any of the local florists at FlowerAura.com.

Flowers, Chocolates And Beyond..

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

Flowers make a wonderful gift for just about everyone. The smiles that light up faces when a floral arrangement is delivered right to them are a wonder to behold. Yet, every florist knows that there is a time when gift-givers need, or want, something more than simply a bouquet. Or even something other than a flower arrangement at all. For you, this is when gift baskets, chocolates, cakes and stuffed toys take their spot on the stage.

For Sickbeds

Sending “Get Well Soon” flowers and gifts can sometimes be a little tricky. Some hospitals, for instance, don’t allow flowers in some areas. Though local florists will be familiar with regulations and can guide you through them, sending a fresh fruit basket and stuffed toy instead might be a better idea.

For The Toddlers

For children, flowers are usually not enough, obviously. To get them in the habit of sending and receiving flowers (and to leave them with warm thoughts about the matter,) include chocolates and perhaps a teddy bear in the order. And gift baskets, as well, if they suit the occasion. Floweraura has baskets that are designed especially for such situations.

Birthdays

Birthdays are not only for the young, yet many times an older person’s birthday is treated as an afterthought. If you have someone in your life who will be celebrating a birthday, no matter their age, send them a bouquet to let them know you remembered. Add in a cake, a box of chocolates and have the surprise gift delivered right to their door with Floweraura.

Housewarming Presents

Gift baskets and Chocolates are almost always welcome but, in some cases, floral bouquets and live plants are not. If you don’t know those throwing the housewarming party well, bring or send a gift basket instead. You won’t have to worry about setting off anyone’s allergies. Or include the basket with your bouquet order, in any case. Those newly moved-in will no doubt appreciate having convenient nibbles on hand.

Anniversaries

Some anniversaries, like those for marriages, are better remembered than others. Sending an anniversary bouquet to friends (or spouses!) can often make up for your inability to be there in person… but don’t just stop here. Other important events no doubt deserve remembrance as well. The first time you met your other half; the one year anniversary of beginning a dream job or any number of other events can be reasons to get in touch with FlowerAura and send a special gift.

In Sympathy

Not all events are happy ones, and sometimes that is when friends and family need the most support. A sympathy bouquet with a greeting card can bring comfort, even if you cannot be there to offer it in person. It doesn’t take much to add a little color and brightness to someone’s life, even when it’s not the best of times.

These are just a few times when you might want to be somewhere in person, but cannot. Flowers can’t replace you, of course, but they can give uplift someone’s spirit, and let them know you care. If you are unsure if an occasion warrants flowers, or which would be the best to send in any case, take the time to talk to one of our customer care representatives through call or through live-chat on our website. They can surely help you in choosing the appropriate flowers and gifts to suit any occasion.

Your wishes are important, so never disappoint your loved ones by forgetting to bestow your best wishes on their special occasions. No matter what the distance, you can send your warmest regards just by the click of a button, through our online delivery system anywhere in India. Choose from a wide range of exquisite flowers and combos especially for your friends and family, only at FlowerAura. Order today and let your wishes touch the hearts of your near and dear ones.

Pongal - Indian Thanksgiving

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

Pongal is celebrated all over Tamil Nadu and is like a harvest festival, similar to Lohri. Pongal is connected with cleaning up the old, burning down rubbish, and welcoming new crops. Pongal is celebrated during the same time as 'Bhogali Bihu' in the North Eastern State of Assam, 'Lohri' in Punjab, 'Bhogi' in Andhra Pradesh and 'Makar Sankranti' in the rest of the country, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal. This year Pongal falls on the 14th of January. It is typically a 4-day festival.

DAY 1: The houses are cleaned, clothes are washed and old things are thrown away. At the entrance to their houses brightly colored designs, called Rangoli, are drawn using flowers or powder.

DAY 2: Sugarcane is brought to decorate the Pooja room. Sweet Pongal rice is cooked using a special pot, it is made from rice (of course), jaggery (a type of sugar), coconut, cashew nuts and milk. When cooked the pot is decorated with ash and fresh turmeric is wrapped around the rim.

DAY 3: The farmers decorate and garland their cows and oxen, usually painting their horns with the colours of the Indian flag or of a political party. In some towns bull running occurs where mad men try to jump on Brahmin bulls (the ones with humps) and hang on for as long as they can. Many get injured.

DAY 4: This day birds are worshipped. Girls prepare coloured balls of cooked rice and keep them in the open for birds and fowls to eat. On this day sister’s also pray for their brother’s happiness.

Stories associated with Pongal:

The most popular Pongal legend is the one associated with the first day of the celebrations when Lord Indra is worshipped. The story behind it is, on this day Indra being honored by all, became proud and arrogant. To teach him a lesson, Lord Krishna asked his cowherd friends to worship Mount Govardhan instead of Indra on the Bhogi Pongal day. Awfully infuriated, Indra sent forth the clouds to generate thunder, lightning and heavy rains and flood the land. But, as the tale goes, Lord Krishna lifted up the Govardhan Mountain on his little finger and sheltered the farmers, cowherd and their cattle. Indra then begged Shri Krishna's forgiveness and the latter re-permitted Bhogi celebrations in honour of Indra.

Tradition of exchanging Pongal gifts multiplies the joys of the festival and helps to develop stronger bonds of love and affinity between friends, relatives and neighbours. All through the four days of the festival people pay a visit to their near and dear ones and exchange box of sweets, dry fruits generally accompanied with flowers are a thoughtful Pongal gift. Children are particularly excited about the festival. For them it is the time for wish fulfillment as all their elders are too eager to pamper them with the best of Pongal gift.

Though there is a tradition to visit dear ones and personally greet them with Pongal Gift but for your dear ones staying in different cities and countries you can send Pongal gift by means of Floweraura, an online floral service throughout India. In recent times, online shopping for Pongal gifts is becoming increasingly popular as it is a convenient and faster way of sending good wishes. Flowers are regarded as the most beautiful medium of expressing good wishes and love on any occasion. For special ones, flowers could be accompanied by a cute gift to make a lasting impression. Sending Good Luck Plants is another great Pongal Gift Idea. Celebrate Pongal with Floweraura, with our wide variety of gifts and flowers, meant especially for this festival. Remember, Floweraura is always there to help you!

Birds Of Paradise

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

The colorful “plumage” of the bird of paradise flower stands out even in an array of beautiful blooms. When it is in full bloom, its “head” uplifted on the slender stalk, it’s easy to see the flower’s resemblance to the bird from which it reputedly gets its name. These flowers make wonderful conversation pieces, and their inclusion in a bouquet adds a touch of elegance to any space.

Strelitzia Reginae

As with many flowers and plants, the common name of the bird of paradise flower is much different from its scientific name. Add to the fact that, in addition to the bird, there are other types of flowering shrubs and bushes that are called “bird of paradise” and you can see why it’s sometimes necessary to define which one you are speaking of. When most people refer to the bird of paradise flower, however, they mean the “Strelizia Reginae”, which also is sometimes called a “crane flower.”

Climate For Growth

Though the bird of paradise flower is indigenous to South Africa, where it can reach heights of up to 15 feet, it grows well in many warm climates around the world. For all its ornamental appeal, the flower is fairly easy to grow, under the right conditions. With warmth, sunlight, and just enough watering and feeding, the bird of paradise offers its surprising blooms to both professional and amateur gardeners. Even so, florists in many locations, with their unique artistry, create designs that highlight the flower’s exotic appeal.

Symbolism

In the language of flowers, the bird of paradise has a few meanings. Magnificence and joyfulness are two meanings often associated with this stately bloom. Then again, since it reminds them of a bird that has spread its wings and taken flight, the flower symbolizes freedom to them. Faithfulness and happiness are also terms that are associated with this flower. If you want to send a message with flowers, Floweraura will no doubt be helpful–but remember, sometimes a beautiful flower is its own simple message.

Notice, when you look through Floweraura’s online floral market, how sometimes the most magnificent flowers, like the bird of paradise, are hiding in plain sight. A unique bouquet may, at first glance, just seem like a collection of colors, but then you begin to notice the florists' artistry. Each flower is placed to amplify or, sometimes, subdue, the blooming flower next to it, on the whole presenting a robust picture.

A Pot of Petunias

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

My grandfather has always a great enthusiast for gardening (growing flowers). Ever since I was a little child, I remember him dressed up in his gardening attire (including a cap) accompanied by his gardening tools, make his way to the little garden he had made in front of our house.

Years went by and like each of my siblings; I went onto do my own thing, having hardly any time for anything else. It had been a long time since I had seen my grandfather and I felt guilty about not visiting him more often. So I decided it was time to pay a visit to the old man who had taught me a lot of things about survival in the real world. I wanted to do something special for him so as to reflect my love and gratitude for the all the things he had ever done for me, knowing his passion for gardening, I decided to surprise him with a pot of home grown petunias.

The very next day I went and bought some petunias seeds from a local shop. Over the years I had gathered some knowledge from my grandfather about growing flowers and I intended to put it all to use. Here are some tips which helped me grow this annual flower in the convenience of my apartment.

• Initially keep the plant inside for 10-12 weeks before setting them outside.
• Petunia seeds are very small and need a lot of light to grow.
• The soil should be well drained and the plant should be sheltered against wind as it is very delicate. Petunias are heat tolerant and hence don’t need much water. A thorough watering once a week is enough. (Depending upon the area where you live in)
• Fertilize the plant monthly to ensure good growth.

Petunias are popular and reliable flowering ornamental plants and continue to rank among the most popular flowering annuals year after year. They originally are of South American origin, blooming in vibrant colors (pink, ruby, white, purple, yellow etc.) and are full of life. Petunias suggest a charming presence, as if quietly whispering in the ear of your loved ones that, “Your presence is highly appreciated!!!” What a unique way to praise your loved ones for their undying support throughout one’s life.

My gift for my grandfather is growing at a steady pace and looks stunning. It’ll be a while till the plant will be in its full bloom and when it is, I’ll take it to my grandfather and I hope he likes them. Fingers crossed.

Away from your loved ones? Let them know how essential their presence in your life is, because when words are not enough… Floweraura is your messenger of affection, 24*7 at your service and just a click away. Let your loved ones know how much you love and value them with our amazing gifting options, which we promise to deliver at their doorstep through our Express Delivery System.

Flowers and Women

This is a guest post.

My best friend was coming back in town and I had been eagerly waiting for this day due to all the wrong reasons. For those of you who don’t know what I mean, yes I had developed some really strong feelings for her ever since she left town. I wanted to do something special for her, which took me from the friend zone to the place where I could see a future alongside her. Finally after wracking my brains and a few silly suggestions from my best buds, I finally decided to go along with a bunch of flowers, which seemed to be the most appropriate thing for a person in my particular situation.

I was a man on a mission and decided to place an online order for a bouquet delivery to her place. Honestly I was a little worried about the time at which the flowers would get delivered, but to my surprise they were delivered right on time. I got a call from the lady of my dreams, the flowers had been delivered and I knew right away that my mission had been accomplished. She was elated to see them and that was clear to me by the tone of her voice.

Exactly a month later, I found myself at a fancy little restaurant in the company of my lady love, toasting to a wonderful future ahead for us. The flowers had worked. I considered myself a genius. I remember asking her what her reaction was when she received see the flowers and her words would always be etched in my memory.

“Although it was a bit weird to be receiving flowers, that too from you. But, I loved them. It was full of gratitude and I felt so loved. They made me feel so elated, cause no matter what; flowers always seem to be smiling. I won’t lie, but I placed them right opposite to my bed, so that their presence could brighten up the room and at the same time, remind me of that schoolboy who had turned into a real gentleman while I had been away.”

This actually came as a shock to me because I never knew that a bunch of flowers could mean so much to a women and I decided to unravel this mystery.

Generation after generation, women have always loved receiving the gift of flowers. Simply put, they are a symbol of life, beauty and thus, when received, women don't just feel vibrant and full of life, they feel beautiful and incredibly special. Showing her your love with a specially-prepared bouquet will only increase her affection for you, and make her feel like she's the most important person in your life. In turn, you will reap the benefits as it will be her pleasure to reciprocate the feelings you garnered her with.

The custom of giving flowers to a women can be traced back as far as the Victorian Era, where a romantic custom developed, behind the exchange of flowers. Everything had a meaning, right from the size and type of the flower to the way in which it was carried, depicted a man’s emotions and his innermost feelings.

Friends of mine who are of the opposite sex, often complain that the men in their lives were not romantic enough. It is a fact that men do have trouble expressing their feelings and often resort to cheesy Hallmark/Archies cards or pricey bejeweled items. But little do they know that there is a better way to a woman’s heart and it does not even involve spending a fortune or even opening your mouth. It worked for me and I can assure you, it’ll work for you too.

Reconstructing this ancient gesture will not only help you infuse your relationship with life and romance but also bring back some of the spontaneity, mystery and fun.

So instead of grabbing a bouquet down at a local flower vendor, try Floweaura, where there are flowers, gifts for every occasion and a wide-variety to choose from. At FlowerAura we don't just deliver mere flowers and gifts rather we the convey your emotions, love and feelings at the doorstep of your dear ones.

Orchids

This is a guest post by Abhay Kanwar.

It was Friday evening and I couldn’t be more thankful to god that the week had finally ended. But there was someone very disappointed with me, my lady love. Due to the busy week that had just ended, I wasn’t able to spend quality time with my girl at all. I knew she was furious. So, in order to tame the raging dragon, I ordered a bunch of pink orchids to be delivered at her place through Floweraura. When I reached her place, the cold northern winds had turned into a gentle life giving breeze. Thanks to the great variety and super-fast delivery by Floweraura.

The pink flowers worked their magic, my tigress had calmed down. Could a bunch of flowers really make such a difference, I wondered. And so, I decided to learn more about Orchids.

Orchids are very elegant flowers, hence making them a perfect gift for any occasion. There are 25000 types of orchids and many new varieties are still being discovered each year. Orchids signify purity. One can send white/pink orchids to say, "I am thinking of you..." or "I care about you...”. The meaning of the word orchid, when roughly translated means “delicate beauty”. Orchids are a beautiful way of expressing your feelings of respect, love and adoration.

An orchid although thought of as a tropical, exotic flower, is grown in almost all types of climate. They are soothing to the eyes of the everyday flower lover and also considered to be one of the most evolved flowers to the specialists. Out of the many varieties of orchids, some of the most popular ones include the Phalaenopsis (or Moth), Cymbidium, Dendrobium orchids and the Vanilla orchid.

Since ancient times, Orchids have been believed to posses various healing and protective qualities, allowing them to fight diseases.

Father's Day

Father’s Day is celebrated worldwide to recognize the contribution that fathers and father-like figures make to the lives of their children. This day celebrates fatherhood and male parenting. Although it is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide, many countries observe this day on the third Sunday in June.

A father is a daughter's first love, a son's first hero. He's always an inspiration and a strong pillar of support for the family. He's the bread-winner for the family, who other than work manages to spend quality time with his family and children. A father certainly is a real-life superhero.

For all that he has done and still does, this is the least we can do for our Father. Dedicate this day specially and exclusively to him. Make special arrangements for him, go out the way and spend some quality time for your dearest daddy.

Language Of Flowers

More often than not, words are not quite enough to express our feelings, to communicate. There are ways to link our thought process with someone else other than words though. Since the Victorian era, the language of flowers has been used to convey messages too complex to be spoken. Today, most implications of flowers are forgotten by the majority, but some are still accepted. Red roses, for instance, still signify passionate and romantic love. Forget-me-nots quite obviously mean remembrance, not unlike rosemary.

The meaning of a flower can vary greatly by just colour. A pink carnation can signify a mother's love, it can mean "I'll never forget you", or "Always on my mind". Whereas yellow and striped ones imply refusal and rejection. A white lily is a symbol of purity, but an orange lily symbolizes hatred.

Flowers are a fairly effective method to communicate tricky subjects. Have no idea as to how to talk to your first love? A violet or red rose, a purple lilac, or a red tulip would be your best bet to take a starting step to a romance. A subtle way of refusal without a hard blow is to send the person a striped carnation. Cypress is probably the most appropriate flower to bring to a funeral.

A red carnation implies affirmation or simply “yes”. If you want to say “You are lovely” or “Good Luck” to anyone, gardenia is your flower. A white clover is a symbol for a promise. The lettuce we are all familiar with is actually a symbol of cold-heartedness. A daffodil can mean chivalry, respect, or uncertainty. Rue, or herb of grace, can imply Regret, Sorrow, or Repentance. An almond flower symbolizes hope.

Even though this art, also called Floriography, not very well known at this point, some florists still practice this language.  The language of flowers can tell tremendous stories and teach lessons for life.
