Everyone has a favorite flower, usually somehow connected to a special memory, place or person in their life. The flowers you love say a lot about who you are as a person- whether you’re sensitive and kind or generous and outgoing. You can also learn a lot about your friends and loved ones when you know their favorite flowers. Plus, sending them their favorites on special occasions (or for no reason at all!) is a great way to let them know how much they mean to you.

The floral designers at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist also have favorite flowers! Even though we love all of the flowers we work with, certain varieties simply fill us with joy for their lovely fragrance, beautiful colors and textures, or the way the work so well in the designs we create. For those flowers, we’re especially thankful. Here are our favorites and why we love them so much If you don’t already have a favorite, go ahead and choose one of ours! It’s okay- we’ll share.

Roses

The sheer variety associated with roses makes them our favorite. For their endless shades and colors, their classic beauty and signature fragrance, roses are among our favorites. If you love roses, too, you’re probably on the traditional or romantic side, striving for perfection and bringing out the best in everyone around you. Send our gorgeous How Sweet It Is bouquet to your favorite traditionalist to celebrate their style. Or celebrate fall with our Autumn Expressions bouquet with your rose-loving friends who enjoy deep, rich fall hues.

Lilies

We love lilies for their bold variety of colors and types that can be featured in both small and large floral designs. With year-round availability and certain varieties presenting an unforgettable fragrance, lilies make an excellent addition to any arrangement. Traditionally included in wedding bouquets or funeral displays, lilies can also be a great gift for someone who is well-respected by their peers and who achieves their goals. A beautiful feminine flower that also comes in a variety of styles, lilies like those in our Full of Laughter bouquet represent kindness, respectfulness, and hard work.

Daisies

With assorted warm tones, cheerful appearance, and versatility in size, these sunflower look-alikes always make a statement. Much like sunflowers, Gerbera Daisies tend to have a round disk center surrounded by bright single-color petals, ranging in hues from soft whites and pastels to bright fuschias, reds, and oranges. Symbolizing purity and innocence, Gerbera daisies, like in our Full of Joy design, make a great gift for a friend, co-worker or neighbor.

Orchids

We find the elegant lines orchids display to be one of our favorite looks, and we’re not the only ones. With their open-eyed petals, long, vine-like stems that cause them to bend over as if listening carefully, and their exotic form and color, there’s much to love about orchids. Send a beautiful display of orchids like our Blush Box bouquet to your most sophisticated, mysterious friend. These gorgeous blooms are favorites of classy, honest people.

Sunflowers

Bright and cheery, sunflowers are a favorite because they brighten anyone’s day and they look like the sun! With large, open faces filled with brown, white or green centers surrounded by layers of smooth yellow petals, sunflowers are the life of the party, just like the people who admire them. We love spreading the cheer, as well, so these blooms, like we use in our Pure Happiness bouquet, communicate our optimism and adoration for our customers. Send sunflowers to brighten anyone’s day, or place them throughout your home for a happy pick-me-up.

No matter what kind of flower is your favorite, you can be sure that it tells a story about your personality. Own it and enjoy a strong sense of self when you surround yourself with your favorite blooms. Send favorites your to favorite people to let them know how well you know and love them.
