February is one of my favorite months of the year. Yes, I know it's winter, but when February comes around, I get so excited for the festivities and love of Valentine's Day! Not only do I love Valentine's Day, but I really love flowers. If you've been following me on Instagram, you know how much I love flowers. I have to have flowers. Always. 🙂
The love and devotion that we show each other this time of year bring me joy. So, with these thoughts, I'm thrilled to share some of my favorite quotes about flowers because Valentine's Day truly reigns as the top time of the year when flowers are so much more appreciated. Don't you agree?

Giving flowers surely does brighten up the receiver's day! I know my mom (and bestest friend in the whole wide world) absolutely loves it when I send her some.

“Butterflies are self propelled flowers.” -Robert A. Heinlein is my favorite quote. I like Teleflora's Mad Crush Bouquet. It is gorgeous!

A lot of the flower quotes are kind of sad when you think about it, talking about the fleetingness of flowers. My favorite bouquet is the Full of Love Bouquet. I love how soft it is and how all the flowers kind of blend into one beautiful piece. Just an overall nice arrangement

“Be honest, be nice, be a flower not a weed.” -Aaron Neville <<<< Yassss, Aaron! Just imagine the world if everybody lived by this credo! I'll continue to do my part.

Linda says
I love this quote - “Butterflies are self propelled flowers.” Heinlein was the best writer. And I love the Red Haute Bouquet.

My favorite quote is “Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair.” by Susan Polis Schutz. My favorite bouquet is the Swirling Desire Bouquet because it has a nice variety of several flowers that I love, including red roses, hot pink oriental lilies, red gerberas, and red carnations.
Shakeia Rieux says
I haven't heard those quotes before but they're beautiful, and so are the variety of Valentine’s Day flowers from Teleflora.
YVONNE WOODSTOCK says
I actually liked all the flower quotes and like even more flower quotes that weren't on the list. But of the ones on the list, I like
“Butterflies are self-propelled flowers.” -Robert A. Heinlein because I love visual imagery like that and because I have thought of butterflies that way before, but didn't know of the quote.
As for the Valentine bouquets on Teleflora.com. Choosing my favorite was VERY difficult because they are all beautiful but also because my favorite varied, depending on who I was thinking of it FOR. If it was for myself it would be different than if I chose it for my mom and that would be different than if I chose it for various other loved ones.
I decided to choose the one that I am leaning toward getting IF I am so lucky as to win the giveaway. I decided I would most likely give it to our oldest daughter, who has been through a lot this past year or so. She has always loved cactus and succulents so I would choose Teleflora's DESERT SUNRISE BOUQUET. She had recently shared with close family and friends that she's sad that even though she is exceptionally kind and loving to everyone that it seems too many people in the world are "less nurturing than a desert". Were the words she used. So that statement along with her love of succulents and unique flowers makes me love that bouquet the best for her. If I won, I would give her that along with a loving card and find and write an inspirational loving quote to do with the desert and growth and Keep shining her brilliant beautiful light even if it feels everything around her is withered and dried.
I chose that bouquet because it's NOT just beautiful flowers. In this case, it is deeply symbolic and sentimental, encouraging and meaningful.
Thank you for this chance.
Jill Jeffrey says
"A flower blossoms for its own joy" is my favorite quote. It reminds me that I never have to worry about what others are doing, just so long as I enjoy my life. It's a helpful reminder every day.
Jodi Snodgrass says
Doyle says that we have much hope from flowers. Flowers are more than hope they are a reminder to not even worry as a flower still blossoms without labor! The swirling desire bouquet is my favorite.
Stephanie M says
I love this one “Be honest, be nice, be a flower not a weed.” In today's world it seems like we could all use some more honesty and kindness! My favorite flowers are the Swirling Desire Bouquet! Lilies are my absolute favorite and they were even in my wedding bouquet so this reminds me of that special day!
Tammy Woodall says

I like the “Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow," John Lennon quote. I also like the True romance bouquet with red roses. I always stop and smell the flowers when I walk by them outside or in a store. Flowers just make me so happy.
Tonya Atkinson says
I agree with Claude Monet “I must have flowers, always and always." Too bad I only get them a few times a year. I would love to have a new bouquet show up right when the previous one was starting to wilt. I am loving the Be My Love Bouquet with Red Roses from Teleflora.
