10 Types of Pink Flowers for the Birthday Girl Who's Obsessed With Pink
Have a friend that’s not afraid to flaunt their love for pink? Make their birthday extra special with a bright bouquet in their favourite colour! Lucky them, because after green, pink is one of the most abundant colours in nature – so there are countless pink flowers to choose from!
More than just a colour, pink is an attitude! This colour has seen a lot of change in meaning over the years. They were originally considered a masculine colour. But having changed tracks somewhere in the 1920s, what we can agree on is that this bright colour is full of energy, sweetness and spunk today!
Here are 10 pink flowers to look out for!
1. Carnation
Sweet and fragrant, carnations have been in cultivation for over 2000 years! These beloved blooms either grow as a single flower on a single stem or as a cluster of flowers.
Also, a fun fact about carnations is that they are sometimes called "Pinks" because of the ruffled edges that made them look like they were trimmed by pinking shears!
2. Calla Lily
Sleek and elegant, it’s hard not to be awed by the beauty of Calla Lilies. Representing appreciation, admiration, and the overcoming of challenges, Calla Lilies can start regrowing in a vase and even survive frosts.
3. Cherry Blossom
A well-known icon and the national flower of Japan, cherry blossoms represent springtime beauty and renewal. Their delicate white and pink petals flutter along with the wind, invoking an inexplicable sense of calmness. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolise the transient of life – serving as a reminder for us to live life to the fullest every day.
4. Dahlia
This unmistakable bloom is completely unique in the flower kingdom! Their distinct spike-like petals come in all sorts of vibrant colours, and they symbolise inner strength – draw upon it to make your way in the world!
They are incredibly resilient, and pink dahlias, in particular, are associated with kindness and grace.
5. Hibiscus
Representing all different kinds of love, the pink hibiscus, with its bright colour and deep blush in the centre, is generally considered a feminine flower! In Victorian times, giving someone a hibiscus flower meant acknowledging the recipient’s delicate beauty – making them an appropriate flower to give the birthday girl.
6. Delphinium
Tall, tiered, and garland-like, these cheery flowers represent striving for success and pushing yourself or others to their goals! It goes by many names, such as lark's spur or bird's claw. But regardless of what you call it, this summer flower is great for communicating encouragement.
7. Snapdragon
Take a closer look -- these flowers are said to resemble the head of a dragon, which "snaps" shut when pollinators land in their blooms! These sturdy flowers can grow in rocky areas, earning them the meaning of grace and strength in adversity!
8. Asters
Part of the daisy family, this beautiful bloom gets its name from the Greek word “asteri”, which means stars. Reflecting qualities of wisdom and faith, these beautiful flowers are beloved by not only the Greeks, but also the Victorians who used them extensively in their floriography.
9. Camellia
The Camellia has layers of ruffled petals, which come in a variety of different colours – but pink is among the more popular ones. They can represent longing, faithfulness and even divinity, and are often used in religious ceremonies in Japan. These special flowers stay intact even when they wither. Thus, they are known as a symbol of everlasting love.
10. Chrysanthemum
‘Mums’ for short, these pom pom-like flowers represent friendship, well-wishes, cheerfulness and positivity! Originally cultivated as a flowering herb in China, these flowers have garnered lots of popularity because of their pleasing aesthetic.
Unlike the early days, chrysanthemums aren’t available in just yellow anymore – they even come in a rosy shade of pink!
