According to The Flower Doctor, here are the appropriate types and colors of flowers that you should give on Valentine's Day:

If you've been madly in love for years, traditionally the best floral gift is a dozen red roses

If you've just met someone, some colorful daisies might be the perfect floral expression.

If you have a secret admirer, maybe you want to give them a pink rose that might help symbolize a love that you want to grow.

Remember this: red roses for sweethearts, pink roses from an admirer, and carnations for a first date.
