TELEFLORA'S STYLE

Love for nature, understanding the transience of the life cycle and noticing the beauty of the moment is what is common in arranging Japanese ikebana and Teleflora's arrangements.

SPEECH OF FLOWERS

When we love plants, it means that we should also understand them. For the sake of understanding and love, we offer you the basic information you should know about flowers, the selection of which was taken care of by Teleflora's arrangers. Well then - Let the flowers speak!

Ivy

This is a noble plant that protects us from various poisons and harmful effects that we are exposed to on a daily basis, without even realizing it. Indoor ivy, scientifically confirmed, absorbs benzene found in gasoline, paint, detergent, cigarette smoke, reducing the risk of harmful effects.

It sneaks around our gardens, it is found in parks and forests. It is most comfortable in oak and beech forests, but it also tolerates polluted air in cities. Since it is green throughout the year, it symbolizes the durability of plant power and the constancy of desire, fidelity. It was placed in children's cradles on St. George's Day, and on Christmas Day it was used to decorate the doors and windows of houses. It is a cure for headaches, hangovers, raw wounds, spring fatigue... To dream of ivy - someone wanted you. To give ivy - I want to hug You.

The Greeks dedicated it to the god of wine - Dionysius, who wore it on his head like Alexander the Great. It must be present in wedding arrangements, it is good to find a note in the bidermeier or on the groom's lapel.

Basil

It is said that basil should be planted first in the garden, then other flowers. Pančić said that he follows the Serb throughout his life, in joy and sorrow, from the cradle to the grave. God's flower. According to legend, it sprung up on the grave of Emperor Uroš; or even on the Saviour's grave, or he became from the tears of Saint Sava. The smell of basil is believed to create love. Basil in the window is an invitation to a lover. Only mosquitoes run away from the smell of basil.

Bamboo

Inspired by a recent meeting with the Japanese Master of Ikebana, we present to you bamboo. Along with the pine and the plum tree in Japan, one of the three plants with favorable omens is the bamboo. Also painting bamboo is more than art: it is a spiritual exercise. The uprightness of the bamboo represents the perfection of its ascent to heaven; the void between its nodes - a picture of the emptiness of the heart. The rustling of bamboo for some teachers is a sign of illumination. Bamboo painting approaches calligraphy: it is a true speech that only intuitive perception reaches. It is used to ward off evil influences more because of the dry crack produced by its wood thrown into the fire. In our arrangements, it also has the meaning of loyalty and constancy of the marriage union.

Rose

Rose, dew, jul, myrislijava, stopwort, lovage, stolistica... of exceptional beauty, shape and fragrance, the flower of love. It is said that there are most basil and roses in paradise.

In Greek mythology, the rose, Aphrodite's flower, is a sign of life, love and rebirth. Bacchus won a nymph by chasing her with a rose bush, a thorn caught in her dress. As a sign of gratitude, he decorated it with delicate flowers in the color of the nymph's cheeks. The Greeks offered a rose to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and fertility, girls wore wreaths of white roses during ceremonial festivities, and the strewing of the road with petals dates back to that time. Recently, at the request of our client, we sprinkled rose petals on the steps of our beloved girlfriend, and a bouquet of red roses was delivered.

When Mary Magdalene watered a red rose with her tears, the rose turned white.

In the Roman Empire, a wreath of roses was used to adorn military leaders, to go to war. They are a symbol of joy, satisfaction and love. In Christian symbolism, they mean love. It can be said that the rose is the flower of the West as the lotus of the East or the narcissus of the Greek world.

A gifted rosebud is love. A bouquet of red roses - passionate love. On anniversaries - a reminder of youthful passions and that they still exist. White rose - pure feelings, favorite flower of many ladies. Pink rose - tender, subtle feelings. Yellow roses - warm, playful feelings. Teleflora's yellow roses have nothing to do with jealousy. Orange - the need for love. During engagement - a red rose is suitable as well as for weddings. The blue rose is a symbol of the impossible. At Teleflora artificially colored blue roses are not very popular. A rose for a man - a loyal one.

Dandelion

"He often saw a plant on the side of the road, which cannot stand human breath, and which he was told was called WOMAN'S FIDELITY, but it should be called: MAN'S LOVE. It is enough to blow on it and it flies away, as if a haunted cobweb from another world..

Dandelion is also called a fever herb, because the dandelion root serves as a cure for fever.

Velcro

That thistle is not just fodder for donkeys, that it is not so inaccessible and inconvenient - we will show you with a Teleflora summer arrangement. Especially in the wild and landscape varieties, this plant dominates. Even when we reveal one of its properties to you, it will become more dear to you, perhaps even your favorite flower. Because of its ability to stick to other objects, it is believed to cause a magical effect of some kind of connection or union. Or throw a velcro on a guy "so that the girl will stick to him".

Like all thorny plants, it is a symbol of external defense and protection of the heart from fatal attacks. "Whoever touches him will be stabbed". There is something vengeful in it, but due to the ray shape of the head, it acquires a different value - a ray of light. Before you start work, it is good to grab hold of the velcro so that the work you have started is accepted.

In ancient China, it was considered a means of strengthening, with which a long life was achieved. Once dry it lasts forever.

Chopped spines, ground and fried in fat are used as an external remedy for children's scabies, Vuk Karadžić also noted. In today's hair cosmetics, it has found its application as an oil for strengthening hair roots.

Monstera

Large, shiny, dark green leaves with deep cuts of various shapes on long fleshy petioles are a welcome sight in our arrangements. Once they used these leaves in some religious ceremonies, they waved them like a fan, believing that it had divine power to ward off evil spirits.

Sunflower

For Van Gogh, the sunflower was at the same time a symbol of hope and devotion to a higher power, it represented his emblem of friendship with Gauguin. They exchanged their studies of this flower which appeared in their work for years. After an argument when Van Gogh cut off his own ear, and Gauguin then left Arles forever, the abandoned Van Gogh painted the beloved flower again, as a gift to Gauguin as a sign of the desire and need for reconciliation.

In addition to being peaceful, we have seen it inspire many artists and Teleflora's arrangers. When they ask us for something symbolic for the birth of the twins, the sunflower somehow warms up. That's why if you notice two newborns coming out of a basket of flowers rushing to one of our maternity hospitals, know that two boys or two girls or a brother and sister have been born.

Djurdjevak

Lily of the valley is the May spice of every composition. This is Lada's flower - the flower of spring and birth of life. It is harvested to be a "flowering year", and with other lily of the valley flowers and grasses, willow branches are woven into wreaths that are placed on the roofs of buildings and on doors. Table arrangements with blossoming branches of fruit trees and tulips, hyacinths... The atmosphere of joy will be completed by beautifully and imaginatively decorated colorful eggs as well as chocolate eggs and toy bunnies, chickens... in nests made of twigs, straws, with some wigs. The nest motif will decorate May cards. You can make those who are lonely happy with wishes for a two-bird's nest.

Hydrangea

Flower of reconciliation of lovers or married couples. They say that giving a hydrangea flower as a gift has two meanings - can I believe you or I had a dream...I would like to tell you about it. Hydrangea is a garden flower and decoration of many gardens and parks. In Teleflora's arrangements, these lovely flower balls are good fillers. Pressed clover-like flowers can serve as a beautiful motif for cards that you can make yourself. And the extremely decorative dried flowers will decorate your home in the long winter days.

Lily

Lily - a symbol of heavenly purity is a flower that expresses tenderness. It symbolizes reproduction and flourishing, so the French kings recognized it as the flower of glory. Fragrant intoxicating, not at all virginal with aphrodisiac properties.

Follows intense love and ecstasy due to the intoxicating full fragrance. The lily stands out among flowers for its elegance and uniqueness. Archangel Gabriel held this flower in his hand when he announced the good news about the birth of Jesus to the Mother of God. That's why they call it the flower of the Virgin. Its beauty is captivating and intoxicating.
