World Kindness Day is on its way, so take a look at some of our favourite flowers that symbolise kindness!
World Kindness Day is an annual special day celebrating and promoting kindness towards others, whether in small day to day acts or bigger gestures.
Want to celebrate the kindest person you know? Here are some flowers to send to represent their best qualities, like kindness, generosity, compassion, and thoughtfulness.
Sunflowers
With their striking blooms and sunny disposition, sunflowers are always a great way to make someone smile. They're associated with positive emotions and traits, such as optimism, strength, warmth, happiness, friendship, and loyalty. A bunch of sunflowers is a lovely way to tell someone just how wonderful they are and how much you admire them. They bloom throughout the summer and autumn, so they're a great way to bring some sunshine indoors as the days grow colder too!
Freesias
If their charming blooms and enchanting fragrance weren't enough, freesias also have some lovely symbolic meanings. They represent thoughtfulness, friendship, and trust, making them the perfect gift for someone who's always going the extra mile for their loved ones.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are classic flowers for bouquets, bringing eye-catching colour and texture, as well as an impressively long vase life! Their main meanings are loyalty and optimism, so they're a perfect for a friend who's always there to make you smile.
Delphiniums
Delphiniums' tall, graceful flower spikes add eye-catching verticality and grandeur to bouquets. They symbolise generosity and joy, so send a bunch to someone who's always happy to help others this World Kindness Day.
Roses
It's easy to craft the perfect message with a bunch of roses, as each colour has its own meaning. Red, pink, or yellow roses are classic choices to express love, gratitude, and kindness. Red roses symbolise love and respect, pink roses represent grace, gratitude and admiration, and yellow roses convey friendship and joy.
Carnations
Carnations generally represent fascination and love, but white carnations are our top pick for World Kindness Day. In the Victorian language of flowers, they were sent to tell someone they were sweet and lovely, as well as to symbolise faithfulness and pure love.
If you're wanting to thank someone for all they do, opt for pink carnations, as these signify gratitude and appreciation.
Daisies
Bright and cheerful daisies are always a hit, and they're full of positive meanings too. In general they represent innocence, loyalty, cheer, and faith, but purple daisies are particularly apt for World Kindness Day, as they symbolise thoughtfulness. If you want to tell someone how happy they make you, both orange and yellow daisies signify joy, sunshine, and happiness.
Baby's Breath
With its airy clouds of flowers, baby's breath adds gentle beauty to any floral arrangement. Its main meanings are innocence and purity of heart, making it the perfect bouquet for someone who's always kind to others.
Dahlias
Dahlia's striking and diverse blooms make them a captivating addition to any bouquet. Dahlias symbolise kindness - making them the perfect blooms to send for World Kindness Day - as well as inner strength, elegance, dignity, and grace.
Orchids
Available both as plants and cut flowers, orchids have long been prized for their luxurious and elegant appearance. Pink orchids are a good choice for World Kindness Day, as they symbolise gentleness and grace. Alternatively, white orchids represent safety, humility, and innocence, so they're a lovely way to thank someone who's been there for you during a difficult time.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas' voluminous blooms are instant show-stoppers, and they're a great way to tell someone how much you care as well. Red and pink hydrangeas convey love, heartfelt emotions, sincerity and gratitude, whilst blue ones symbolise understanding.
