Valentine's Day: Match flowers, message

My husband and I are both horticulturists, so we can't go wrong giving each other a plant or flower.

In case you didn't know, plants and flowers have a language of their own. They are considered a perfect replica of human life - planting, growth, bloom, withering.

While doing some research on plants, I was amazed at the number of varieties that are known for their sentiment of love or passion.

In honor of Valentine's Day, here are a few plants you may want to consider giving to the passionate gardener on your list of loved ones:

Camellia (pink) - Longing for you;

Camellia (red) - You're a flame in my heart;

Carnation (pink) - I'll never forget you;

Daffodil - The sun is always shining when I'm with you;

Gardenia - You're lovely; secret love;

Gloxinia - Love at first sight;

Orchid - Love; beauty; beautiful lady;

Rose (pink) - Perfect happiness;

Rose (red) - I love you.

For you guys or girls who have a hard time expressing your feelings, let the flower speak for you. A yellow tulip will say "there's sunshine in your smile"; a violet says "I'll always be there"; or a white camellia tells the recipient "you're adorable."
