At a time like this, when lockdown and restrictions means we can’t see friends and family when we want can be difficult for us all. That’s why as your local florist we are passionate about helping you to still be able to share emotions and feelings with those you love; whether it’s a birthday, special anniversary or just to say missing you lots. Flowers are the perfect gift in times like these and somehow manage to speak a thousand words; sharing joy, offering a sign of hope, a symbol of sentiments.

This is what we call the language of flowers (its official name is Floriography). This is where every flower has its own special meaning or symbol, according to its variety and colour. So if you have something you want to express, picking the flower or colour linked to the message you want to send is a unique and exciting way to do this.

Flowers to say… you are an amazing friend

Yellow roses are our go-to blooms when we think about friends! These vibrant flowers represent friendship and joy, making them a great gift to send friends to brighten their day and say you are thinking of them still.

If your friends don’t live in the local Northamptonshire area that Magnolia the Florist deliver to by hand, then never fear! Our fabulous Betty Bouquet is available as part of our nationwide flower delivery range  – so you can order these flowers for delivery to friends and family across the UK. Featuring yellow roses mixed with seasonal blooms and lush green foliage, expertly made by your local Kettering florist and carefully packaged and boxed up for delivery by courier.

Flowers to say… you are my true love

The most famous of the Love flowers has to be the Red Rose – known for it symbolising of passion and romance. But if you are looking for another flower for a more unusual way to symbolise your deep emotions then why not consider sending Red Tulips which mean true love. We adore tulips, which really come into season in early Spring so are perfect blooms to send in lockdown 3.0! Magnolia the Florist shop in Kettering is always full of seasonal flowers all year round, so if you are after some Tulips just give us a call and we can help.

Flowers to say…YAY!

If you are looking to spread a little happiness with fresh flowers, we can think of no better bloom than the Daffodil. These trumpet shaped flowers pop up early Spring time in happy shades of yellow and orange, which gives them a real positive vibe and symbolise new beginnings. This means they are also a great flower to celebrate a new job, new home or new addition the family!

Here at Magnolia the Florist, we love all the gorgeous flowers that Spring brings and have created our own exclusive bouquet to celebrate. Check out our Simply Spring bouquet which includes seasonal favourites including the daffodil.

Flowers to say… thanks a million

If you want to send a message of heartfelt thanks, then choose a bouquet which includes Sweet Peas. These delicate looking little flowers have an amazing fragrance, and their petal shapes remind us of butterflies! They have long been given to say thanks or thank you for a wonderful time  – especially great for a hostess. Sweet Peas bloom in the Spring and Summer months, and are also the official birth flower of April.

Flowers to say… I am missing you

Living far away from your loved ones can be tough. Plenty of games night over Zoom, hand written postcards sent in the post and funny pictures over Whatsapp are great ways to stay in touch and share your day to day lives.  

If you want to send a thoughtful gift that says missing you, then Magnolia the Florist have just the right thing! Pink Carnations have the meaning of I miss you, and we include this beautifully bloom in our Battersea bouquet from our Letterbox Flowers range – these can be sent to any UK address, and the flowers are safely packaged and delivered in a letterbox size box so the recipient can easily receive and enjoy their floral gift.
