Guy's Guide to Flowers

A GUY'S GUIDE TO GIVING FLOWERS

For the man who is untrained in the art of buying and selecting flowers for differnt occasions for his russian girlfriend these tips should help:

Being Spontaneous helps!

Russian women are used to receiving flowers on birthdays and International Women's Day. They would quickly notice the absence of flowers on these occasions. But bouquets and flower arrangemets given for no reason other than "I am thinking of you" make a huge impact especially in countries of the FSU.

Get more bloom for the buck
In a classic case of supply and demand, the price of roses in Russia peaks on Valentine's Day and International Women's Day. Roses are a great value during the summer months -- all the more reason to give them spontaneously.

Don't overlook anyone
A bouquet can express a range of feelings -- from romantic to friendly to something in between. Your wife or girlfriend will love to receive a surprise gift of flowers. So will your mother, daughter, sister and female friends.

Try something new
Russian and Ukrainian women are very much aware of the multitude of floral varieties and exotic flowers available on the market now and are eager to see new specimens first-hand. Giving roses of unusual color-- like peach -- or an arrangement of mixed flowers demonstrates an awareness of color and an understanding of botany that will not go unnoticed. But remember to avoid sending yellow roses to a lady in Russia: you might mistakenly convey a negative meaning(i.e. cheating and breaking up!)

Flowers are never boring
Because of their infinite diversity and unique appeal, flowers can be given time and time again without losing their "specialness." Each new floral arrangement is a fresh and individual declaration of appreciation -- reflecting positively on your imagination and thoughtfulness.

Flowers don't have to mean commitment
Relax, guys. Russian women know when an arrangement simply means you care.

A gift of flowers goes a long way

Every woman remembers the last time she got flowers. Just as you never forgot the first time a woman other than your Mum served you a hot home-cooked meal, she'll treasure this gesture forever.
