Everyone likes a little mystery in their life and that includes flower enthusiasts! While red is the color of love and pink is the color of friendship, many wonder what to order from their florist when they are trying to implement a theme of intrigue to their gift. Is it a green orchid or a white calla lily that will reflect this sentiment adequately? According to professionals in the industry, the blue rose is what you are supposed to be requesting if you are attempting to dazzle a special someone secretly…
The anomaly of the blue dyed rose (yes, it is dyed because although growers are amazing at cultivating new shades,blue roses are not possible yet naturally) has been a big trend in the last ten years which is still increasing exponentially. This variety’s undoubtable popularity is particularly driven by younger demographics who are usually looking for contemporary options when sending flowers. The blueness of the petals is feisty, fun and full of interpretive meaning, which is exactly why florists located near college campuses always have bunches loaded in stock.
But what are we really saying when sending a bouquet of blue roses? There are a few different possibilities to consider before buying…
Mystery
The primary theme of blue roses is the thought of MYSTERY. This can be transcribed in several ways, either meaning a mysterious admirer or an unknown comradery or partnership with someone. A bunch of these roses can also mean that there is a mystery in the works and for someone to be on the lookout for clues. Want a fun birthday idea? Send this variety in a box along with a scavenger hunt clue tucked in the stems. They’ll have loads of fun playing this tracking game and also get to enjoy a stunning bouquet as a well!
Inventiveness
Here is a much different meaning from the previous explanation but you can have a lot of fun gifting blue roses, particularly if they are going to someone creative. Yes, blue roses can also stand for “inventiveness” so if a friend is having an opening at an art gallery, showcasing a new gadget they’ve designed or recently problem solved a tricky situation, you might want to consider these beauties as a present.
Change
A third explanation for the meaning of blue petals is the attachment to the idea of “change”. Do you have someone close to you who just started a new job or recently decided to partake on a new adventure? Then these are the perfect petals to say “Good Luck!” and “Well Wishes!”
