Valentine's Day in the Philippines is a day when men give gifts to women.
Last year I gave my wife a gift of blissed flowers, but this year I decided to go with fresh flowers.
I remember when, in the gardening section of Viva Home, I saw a phalaenopsis orchid.
Phalaenopsis orchids have a strong image of white, and I really wanted a white one, but the white orchids in the store were large, so I chose a slightly smaller, light purple one (called a midi phalaenopsis orchid, according to my research). I found out that they are called midi phalaenopsis orchids.
I handed it to my wife first thing in the morning and she was overjoyed, which made me happy too.
The language of Phalaenopsis orchids is "happiness will fly" and "pure love." In addition, the language of flowers differs by color: white is "purity" and "pure. Pink is "I love you. Purple is "sincerity" and "respect.
A white orchid for a wedding celebration or a pink orchid for a marriage proposal would be a good choice.
For a married couple, purple, which represents "sincerity and respect," is perfect.
I gave it to her without knowing the language of flowers, but it seemed to be an unexpectedly good choice.
Now, what shall I do next year?
