Petals of Appreciation: When to Say “Thank You” with Gorgeous Blooms


There are endless reasons to say “thank you” to the special people in our lives—from the coworker who always has your back to the friend who hosted an epic Friendsgiving dinner. And let’s not forget the family member who always lets you crash at their place for the holidays (and deserves an epic host gift)! A thoughtful bouquet is the perfect way to show your gratitude, and here at George’s Flowers, the best florist in Roanoke, we’ve got just the right blooms to make them feel all the love.

Host & Hostess Gifts

Heading to a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any holiday shindig? Don’t just arrive—arrive with a jaw-dropping floral centerpiece that’ll make your host feel like they just won the holiday lottery. For Thanksgiving, chrysanthemums are the perfect pick with their rich, autumnal tones that vibe with everything from the pumpkin pie to the cozy fall decor. Anthuriums are the flower equivalent of a big “thank you” for hosting—since they actually symbolize hospitality! And when it comes to Christmas, poinsettias are the star of the show, with their bold, festive reds that shout, “Have a holly jolly Christmas!”

Mentors Who Make a Difference

From teachers to mentors (whether they’re family or friends), these are the people who are in your corner, cheering you on as you crush your biggest goals and tackle life’s challenges. They’ve got the wisdom you need to navigate all those big life decisions and even those small obstacles. To say, “I’m so thankful for you”, irises are a sentimental choice, as they’re known for symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. And if you’re feeling extra grateful, mix in some pink roses, the radiant flowers of appreciation and good vibes.

Being There in Pivotal Moments

Let’s give it up for the family members and besties who stick with us no matter what! They’re the ones we run to for comfort, laughter, and the best advice. When it’s time to show them how much they mean to you, hydrangeas are a top choice (and Nancy Meyers approved). These soft, cloud-like flowers radiate heartfelt emotion and gratitude. And don’t sleep on snapdragons—they’re all about strength and grace, a little extra something we could all use more of.

Going Above and Beyond

They went all out when they didn’t have to, and now you’re overflowing with appreciation and gratitude! There’s no better way to say “thank you from the bottom of my heart” than with flowers that radiate good vibes. Yellow lilies are like sunshine in bloom, spreading joy and gratitude for those extra-special friends. Sunflowers, of course, are the champions of positivity and happiness, standing tall and proud, just like the people who surprise us with their kindness time and time again.

Thanking Bosses and Coworkers

You totally crushed that work presentation as a team! Now, let’s take your “thank you” game to the next level. Showing gratitude to your coworkers not only gives everyone a positive and inspirational boost but also makes the office pop with fresh hues and motivation! Orchids are the icons of elegance and charm—basically, everything you embodied during the project. Additionally, succulents are the perfect match for your strength and resilience, not to mention the selfless teamwork that got you here!

With their fresh, fun vibes, flowers make the perfect thank-you! Let George’s Flowers create a custom gift that’s as special as the people you appreciate most.
