When it comes to finding a birthday present, all too often people think about everything but flowers. While there are some who don't like flowers, and some who are allergic to pollen, on the whole, flowers can make a truly special birthday gift. Not only are they beautiful, but they can last for days or even weeks for the cut variety, and a potted plant can last indefinitely, depending on how skilled the recipient is with gardening.

Since birthdays are generally a festive time, even for those who have one of those dreaded -ty years like forty or fifty, giving birthday flowers can be something special. Another way to think about giving flowers for a birthday is to make it as public as possible. Why not send an arrangement to their workplace so everyone gets to see the day is their birthday? With all the great flowers available, and all the neat arrangements florists can make with Mylar balloons, having a huge, ostentatious and outlandish flower arrangement sent to their workplace can be real blast.

On a more serious note, giving Mom or Grandma plants and flowers on their birthdays shows them that you care. If they like to garden or have good houseplant skills, then you'll have given them a gift that keeps on giving. Every time they look at it or tend to it, they'll think of you and how much you care because you gave them a birthday flower.

And giving a spouse flowers on their birthday shows you care as well. For the husbands, it makes a great gift to be given because it shows her that he didn't forget her birthday this year. And, of course, it makes a great gift to be gotten by the wife because she sees that he really does pay attention. When it comes to giving and receiving birthday flowers from your spouse, there really is no better gift, even though that lawn tractor really is a great deal.

All in all, finding a gift for someone's birthday can present a challenge. But by choosing to give flowers and plants as a birthday gift, not only are you giving something that is really going to show you care and how much you appreciate them, but you're giving something they will truly enjoy. Take a look at all the online resources available to see which flowers will be the best birthday flowers you a give.
