Whether or not you’re a believer in St. Valentine, we still think that you should go ahead and send yourself flowers this February 14. But with as many types of flowers that exist on this planet, are you really going to settle for roses?
Select the first image to see which flower goes best with your sign.
Aquarius, 1/20-2/18: Nothing should raise a few eyebrows like trying to feed your Valentine’s Day delivery, so why not get a rise out of your co-workers with a venus fly trap. The plant may look simple, but with bladed leaves that snap shut to trap insects, the swamp plant proves it’s not as innocent as it may look. Hmm, sound familiar, Gemini?
Pisces, 2/19-3/20: You know how IT people always have to deal with everyone them for computer help (even though it's after-hours)? It's kind of the same for you (minus the technology). Your sound judgment makes you to the go-to-girl when your loved ones need advice on everything from whether or not they should buy a motorcycle to how to handle a crazy best friend. So grab yourself a few orchids — just like you're old soul attitude, studies have shown that the flower's origins could travel back to the time of dinosaurs.
Aries, 3/21-4/19: The confident Aries has a knack for getting comfortable in the most uncomfortable of places. Not surprisingly, you can make others feel just as at ease. Like the poppy’s ability to lull Dorothy to sleep in the Wizard of Oz, your personable charm is just as hypnotic.
Taurus, 4/20-5/20: While you might not be in contact with your best friend from kindergarten, your friends today know that you're a friend worth keeping. You're the first to show up in case of emergency and you're supportive even when they consider a career change from art to pre-med (or vice-versa). It’s not that you'd need the forget-me-not to ensure the loyalty of your loved ones - we just think it's a nice touch.
Gemini, 5/21-6/21: Who cares if the crayons at Applebee's are meant for kids still in booster seats? It's not as though there's an age limit for when a person has to stop having fun. Even with things like work and relationship forcing you to grow up, you've still been able to manage a childlike energy about you. So in the spirit of Peter Pan, have the local florist drop by some tiger lilies for a little more play in your day.
Cancer, 6/22-7/22:bleeding hearts just might be our favorite.
Leo, 7/23-8/22: You could lose your job, best friend and dog all in the same day and still find a reason to remain positive in the end. If you’re lucky (which you probably are), a vase of sunshine yellow daffodils will only spread your positive feelings to all those around you.
Virgo, 8/23-9/22: Forget the flowers, Virgo. We’d bet $10 (if we had it to spare) that there’s an emergency sewing kit tucked away in your purse. Your practicality might be predictable but it often comes in handy – which is what makes the aloe vera plant such a great desk mate for you. Perfectly simplistic, the cactus has gel inside its leaves that can be used to calm a sunburn as an added perk.
Libra, 9/23-10/22: You would never consider yourself shallow – you just happen to have an appreciation for beautiful things. So you don’t see the hydrangea’s surplus of petals as overdoing it, but instead as a sign of enduring grace and beauty. Because when you’ve got it, what else can you do but flaunt it?
Scorpio, 10/23-11/21: No one has to walk you through step-by-step instructions on how to meditate – you’ve always had a strong spirituality about you. We recommend that you surround yourself with others that can look and feel past their main five senses. Start with the anemone (legend has it that the flower will close its petals when it senses rain approaching).
Sagittarius, 11/22-12/21: If you, Christopher Columbus and Dora all sat down for lunch, we doubt that you would have a hard time finding common ground. As explorers always on the lookout for something new, you look forward to exploring the unknown. So like the snap dragon which resembles a colored bird in flight, spread your wings Sagittarius – just remember to have one of your friends water your plants while your off traipsing around the world.
Capricorn, 12/22-1/19: You know what they say: all work and no play make a Capricorn a dull sign. So why not use some of that infamous ambition you’re so well known for and redirect it toward a new hobby (like window-box gardening, perhaps?). The amaryllis may take some extra TLC if you want to see the flowers bloom, but with your work ethic, we're sure you’ll manage just fine.
