Get fluent in flower talk with our guide to floral symbolism and blooms for the whole fam! Whether you’re sending a subtle “thanks for not grounding me” to your folks on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, giving a shoutout to your grands on Grandparent’s Day, or lovingly trolling your sibs on National Siblings Day, each flower has a vibe that expresses your sincerest emotions. Flowerama, the best florist in San Antonio, is spilling the tea on which blooms can say precisely what you need to all your relatives.

Send Love & Gratitude to Your Parents

Colorful roses and peonies bring all the love for Mom and Dad on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or just because, and we are here for it! Toss in some ranunculus, lilies, and peachy blooms for a cute, heartfelt, and blooming thank-you note. It’s a sweet way to send your parents the love and joy they totally deserve.

Show Your Respect & Admiration for Grandparents

Choosing flowers for your grandparents? Aim for peak classiness with orchids and irises—elegant symbols of wisdom, gratitude, grace, and admiration. Feeling the spring vibes? Bright daffodils are just the joyful, sunny, and bright blooms for the job. And for that royal treatment on Grandparents’ Day, purple asters signal “nothing but the best” when expressing your love and respect for your gramma and grandpa.

Celebrate the Cheerfulness & Wisdom of Aunts & Uncles

For all your epic aunts and uncles who always have your back—let’s get that bouquet popping! We love indigo blooms like thistle, anemone, iris, and delphinium that symbolize all the sage advice they’ve bestowed upon you, especially when your parents “just didn’t get it.” And since they bring the sunshine and fun energy to every family gathering, birds of paradise and bright yellow flowers are a flawless choice. Here’s to the fam that keeps it real!

Thank Siblings & Cousins for Their Friendship & Strength

Giving a big ol’ shoutout to your sibs and cousins for all those epic pillow fights and secret handshakes? Grab a bouquet that’s as lively as your childhood adventures! Start with chrysanthemums and snapdragons—because, like them, these flowers symbolize resilience and the strength they have instilled in you. Mix in some bright yellow blooms and alstroemeria to celebrate your unbreakable friendships, and top it off with eucalyptus for that cool, fresh vibe—just like those late-night ghost story sessions.

Spread Peace & Positivity to Your Chosen Fam

For your chosen fam—the crew that keeps things chill and full of good vibes— send a bouquet that’s as sunny and laid-back as they are. Throw in some sunflowers and hydrangeas to represent peace, positivity, and heartfelt emotions. Add a dash of gerbera daisies for a cheerful pop of positivity, and you’re all set!

Whether you’re across the living room or across the country, gifting fresh stems from Flowerama is like sending a hug that actually smells amazing. Choose a bouquet with all the symbolic feels and send your fam a whole lotta love.
